You know what you have to do then, up the overclocks.

It is a good idea to remove the dust though from time to time anyway.

Small soft brushed hoover attachments are great for this, i do mine every few months, cat hair gets everywhere.

Good isn't it, I never thought about doing that till my dad suggested it a while back and it took a good few degrees off my motherboard, CPU and PSU temps.

i just use a air duster, does the trick, then hoover it all when its outside the case. can be risky hoovering Inside the case, one of my mates hoovered too close and pulled the bios battery out and it dented loads when wizzing around inside. had to buy a new one lol

One of my mates hoovered everything in his pc, after he was done he was looking for a new PC. Lol

lol! what kinda hoover was that? I use a dyson on mine every 6month or so, put the circular bit on with the bristles so it nice and soft just enough to disturb the dust and suck it up. can be abit tricky just got to remember to go easy!

You must have some massive cases my thermaltake soprano with 1/2" tubing everywhere is too small to even get the nozzle in :/

It's especially bad as I spilt a load of water in there when I was putting the loop in. It all dried and left a sticky layer of additive, then all the dust stuck to that. So now I have a layer of hair and dust on the bottom of the case which won't come off

I can get the actual hoover itself in mine!

So many things wrong with that photo. Your case is completely empty, full of holes, it's on a towel, and you have 2 keyboards? wtf?

mishima · 15 Jan 2007 at 23:26

hahaa! was still workin on it sorting out case fan's etc. the bottom of it doesn't have rubber feet so it would scratch the out of my desk. lol and the 2 keyboards.. one is ps2 other is usb, had to use the old ps2 for bios the usb one wouldnt work
