Also yr old blankets there is dust evrry where... a member of the female sex hasnt been there in years. I work 10-12 hours a day.

If you work and wish to have the enjoyment of playing your PC in your spare time, I suggest you get off your backside and keep it clean and running smooth.

I do not suggest you get new parts until you are able to take care of your current system.
Why?
Because if you buy a new computer and neglect it, the cost when it drops dead will be quite a bit more.

I will look after my new pc. I plan to clean it every day.

You... Used water on electronics? Like, seriously? Chazus pointed out the easiest way to do it, canned air.

[Lebronchanez]

yes i meant compressed air.

I sprayed it on to GPU. Now the GPU fan is doing its own thing....

[Fluorescent0]

You called it water thing... Any chance you didn't keep the can vertical and sprayed liquid instead of air?

[Lebronchanez]

i tried to keep it vertical sigh...

GPU is working okay, but i think i broke GPU fan, it is doing some weird shit. Idle GPU is 81degrees.

[Peldorain]

If the GPU Fan is broken, based on images I saw earlier in the thread its probably because so much dust got into the motor of the fan, that it stripped the gears over time. I tend to agree with some people in this thread, but since now the damage is done, I recommend getting a Mid-to-Low End Gaming GPU that can be replaced without breaking your budget, simply to prevent such a thing from happening again

[ebah]

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

One day I hope everyone uses dust filters on their intake fans.

Still doesnt remove the dusting totally :P

[Lebronchanez]

Looks like I broke it.

Tested temp now, after 20mins on WoW on Ultra (had no problems before dusting) -

GPU 108 temp 1 57 temp2 33 temp 3 60 then cores were fine 39 and 37 each; main temps seem super high... why is cup overheating now
