Hot days ahead

Now's a good time to hoover your dust filters and bosh some canned air through heatsinks.

why? when i built my machine i do intensive testing on it which means run prime avx overnight and use a electric fan heater facing the front intake on the case. case temps get to 55c cpu sitting at 90c custom throttle point with no issues. simulate worse case scenario and you never get issues in general everyday usage.
find it hilarious that most people are on borderline stability and just a bit of hot weather can be the straw that breaks the camels back. lol.

Never use a case that doesnt have dust filters. learnt that the hard way with my antec 900. :eek:

Or add some air con

air con rinses the power, in this day and age its costly to use.

It is days like this an Aircon unit for a few days a year would be worth it

How about go outside and enjoy the nice weather

I have plenty of gardening I need to get on with so I will do the absurd and turn the PC off.

Luke warm, we are just so used to living in a fridge in the UK that a little temp is a shock to our system

30 degree heat is hot for me, especially when it comes to the evening and your home has been absorbing heat all day... Turns the house into an oven.
