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.

the fan

ya i kno its a crappy pic, but im not going to try to take another one the gray things on the blades are the dust. :spy:

the hs

it was too hard to clean it with the hs clamped on the mboard, so i took it off. the white stuff on it is the plain thermal paste that came with the hs in a bag.

cpu

the cpu in the socket with the thermal stuff on it. btw its a amd k6-2 500 mhz procesor (super socket 7 mboard)

cpu taken out

this is when i took the cpu out, so u can see how big it is and see a better pic of it.

 

[n_w95482]

this thing is thin

this is how thin the cpu is, probably the same thickness as any other processor (i suck at takin pics:heh: )

 

[n_w95482]

back of cpu

this is the back of the processor with the pins. it doesnt have as many pins as a athlon or p4 cuz its a older/slower procesor.

I remember when I cleaned out my heatsink a few days ago. The good thing is that I lowered my temps by like 7c.

 

[n_w95482]

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 . 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.
