its just the standard heatsink that came with it when i got the retail 3200 64
ive got a flat now and ive just been letting it sit running at my mothers house for weeks but when i got back the alarm would go off when opening up a program im like erm.. wtf

then shut it down straight away when it got hot and decided to see whats up, yeah most fans were blocked up nand the case too but the case side has been off for months forgot toput it back on last time i was having a fiddle with it!

i will post up the picture of my bed with all the dust covering it lol
