I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that things had started to get a bit toasty. I decided to take the side panels off and give it a once over today. After almost a year of fairly heavy WFH, this PC has spent practically 15 hours a day, 7 days a week running with a month of running 24x7 in the middle. Although I had cleaned the air filters regularly, a lack of further maintenance on my part meant things didn't look pretty.
It took nearly all day to fully clean it out with a few interruptions. The clear tubing is showing the usual signs of plasticizer leaching so that's going to need to be addressed soon with the ZMT I bought nearly 2 years ago. I've also added another 1TB SN750 SSD. So I now have 3 NVMe SSD's fitted. Glad I've got Threadripper as I'm using 12 lanes for SSDs, 32 lanes for GPUs, 8 for the 10Gbe nic and 1x for the audio interface. The prospects for upgrading don't look so good though as I really don't need a 24C 48T processor, I only need the PCIe lanes.
Inside is now much cleaner vs the picture above from Monday.
