Very happy H60 user here as it allows my 2500K to run nice and cool at 4.3GHz.

I had noticed recently that CPU temps were 3-5ºC higher at both idle and under load than they used to be, but because of the PC being low down on a computer desk, I couldn't visually check if the fan and/or radiator were dusty.

I do vacuum the computer desk and the PC case regularly, so I wasn't expecting there to be much dust in the radiator.

So I was greatly surprised to find the H60 radiator completely clogged with dust this weekend when I had the PC out to replace the PSU (went fully modular to ease my cabling OCD).

A quick application of the Dyson later and the PC was back to running the same temps as it did when I first fitted it a year ago.

Anyone finding their H60 running slightly warmer, should have a quick look at their radiator..
 
Dust-filter the air intakes!

My PC looks just like the day I got it every time I open it, zero dust :)

I have no idea why I didn't think of that considering my Carbide 300R case has filters for the front panel and PSU intakes filtered as standard...

Have just ordered an Akasa one.
