the dust

this is why i opened up my comp in the 1st place: to clean out the heat sink fins (i took off the fan 1st). the silver circle in the middle is the dead spot (or whatever its called) in the fan, and the dark area around it is the DUST (eww). and ive only had this hs in here since july or august 2002.
 
I remember when I cleaned out my heatsink a few days ago. The good thing is that I lowered my temps by like 7c.

after the cleanin

well, i did a virus scan and such on my comp to put it under load for a while, then i cheked the procesor temp. it used to run at 125 F (51.6 C) under load (according to bios), but it runs at about 123 F (50.5 C), so it HAS gone down a bit :D. the fan i have in my comp is a antec fan that i bought at my local staples for $12-14. it normally runs at 5700-6000 rpm.
 
1 - ASUS Geforce4Ti 4200 128MB
2 - SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
3 - Linksys LAN Card

Figured i'de pitch in...no point in resserecting that old thread just for a few pics...and i believe that old thread was about your desktop area and people were just throwing in their rigs for no reason
 
CPU Fan...Couldn't Take it off ebcause the computer was the one i was running it from and i dont think that woulda worked too well and my CPU fan is clamped on there so hard ide have to break it to get it off...
