Reputation: 5297   Rep Power: 64 |  Is your CPU fan clean? I just cleaned my cpu fan out. It looked clean,,, But I noticed my cpu was running warm. So I pulled the case out and removed the fan from the heatsink,,, OMG  It was plugged!!! It was a ***** to clean (caked on man! No dust off here!)... q-tips and alcohol,,, then dust off. My cpu is back down to normal temp, 5 degrees difference!  Last edited by Trinity : 11th Sep 2005 at 10:32 PM. |
