Touched the back of my PC case where my Radiator was mounted earlier and nearly burnt my fingers! The whole area surrounding was piercing hot! I took my pc apart, took watercooling system off, cleaned the very dusty radiator off totally , and refitted the CPU heatsink. I moved the radiator to the lower front of the case so I can see how hot it is easier, and to keep it further away from the hottest area of the motherboard. Moral of the story? Clean your radiator free of dust or it will get very hot indeed!
 
I done exactly the same last weekend, took the PC apart for a good clean and my god I felt so ashamed of myself, I'm usually on the ball with cleaning but this was a little to dusty and the AIO was rather toasty,

Re-pasted and cleaned now its a lot better
Yes, mine was near as totally clogged with dust. That is the first time I can recall where my PC case was literally heated up! Now much better (and quieter).
