Is your CPU fan clean? - Page 4

Wow, nice stories and dusty CPU fans you have there!!!

I'm cleaning my Case fans and the fans themselves about every six monthes. Regarding the CPU, I don't need to clean it as I use home-made Watercooling system with a Waterblock installed on the CPU. Regarding the Radiator and its fans, I'm cleaning them from time to time, and using some air filters for them as well!!!

Well, it could be.. but you will have to void your warranty!

Well, I had already void it when I upgrade my memory...

Anyway the warranty is useless...
