Hi there.

Yesterday i opened the case of my pc to do some dust removal.


Also...

Were you having a problem before this? People don't usually dust the
inside of their computer.


Have a nice week...

Follow Joan Rivers' example --- get pre-embalmed!


Dusting is mandatory to reduce heat. Dust reduces heat flow so anything
that heats up on which dust has collected will run hotter. It can also
generate static (there's a name for this type of static that builds up
slowly over time but I forget it at the moment). It will also reduce
airflow if it is allowed to accumulate across openings or accumulates to
large enough mass. So there is very good reason to yearly blow the dust out
of your box. That also includes blowing out the power supply, its fans, and
all other fans and crevices.
