it was last cleaned ~2 months ago.
add to that two panaflow 110+ cfm fans and you have a air filter

GPU is a GIGABYTE GTS450 OC2 from Barbaric Soul.

After my girlfriend, this will be the fav thread in TPU for me: watched the pics of your PC d.d.d while listening to Crowbar's "The Lasting Dose" & it was f***in' ace. Keep headbanging.

I have heard of motoctross/offroad riders spraying the underside of their bikes and fenders with silicone spray before a muddy race, to keep the mud from sticking. Anyone ever try silicon spray on heatsinks inside their pc? It could keep the dust from sticking.
Doesn't that stuff breakdown @ higher temp's?
I use air compressor as well , Wayyyy better than canned air. except for those who are not familiar with using one. like you said draining the moisture. I cant count how many times people have asked me what That little nipple @ the bottom of the tank is for.

It doesn't, I have to replace them. I counted eight in total (a few look suspicious) so within the week I'm going to swap them, just not sure where to purchase them.

I don't have pics but try to figure a computer with daily use, sitting on floor, one smoker (my mom) and 3 cats opened after 8 years due to constant crashing and BSODing even after reinstall. The CPU fan was totally stopped due to cr*p. The mobo capacitors were vented and oozing liquid. That was when I didn't know almost anything of computers.


And every spring/summer my current computer is invaded by the thrips plague in my area, and I've to clean dead thrips inside even those trapped behind LCD screen

Please don't hijack my thread with your GPU quest. Instead, start your own if you have not already.
