The kerazy changeable weather of late has meant that we often leave the heating on all the time in the flat, mainly due to sheer laziness. Therefore when we’re having a warm spell it can get quite warm in my room. I’d noticed my PC was bluescreening quite a lot lately, but only last night equated it with the temperature. My CPU was pushing 60, which is far, far too hot.
I dismantled my case and found a small world that would be heaven for any dust eating mite. My exhaust fan expelled a small rugs worth of dust when I tappped it out of the window. The CPU heatsink is full of dust aswell but getting rid of that would mean turning my PC off. Anyway, with the fans cleaned and the side of the case off it runs much more smoothly and idles around 45. Still far too hot I know, but hey, I’m gonna upgrade soon.
