Now for a little, little, contrast to Bungee's fine work. I decided to swap the GPU in wifey's machine to my old one. Here's what I found on the CPU cooler.

I don't often turn a machine on its side. This one I did and found a World Record class dust monster (too big to be a bunny) on the PSU intake, it's bottom mounted. That thing was huge, wish I'd snapped it too. If you have a bottom mounted PSU, check its intake grille of filter if you have one.

Thats some serious dust bunny that is :O
Since swapping my H100i to intake the dust hitting the rad has increased loads. A filter restricts the airflow to it too much though so i have to hit it with the old compressed air every week or so. Having windows and doors open during the hot days doesn't help though.

How loud was that thing?

made no noice at all, too much sound insulation, lol. Here's the machine now after a few hours work.

Good job Gary, Much cleaner :)

Thanks Ryan, it was almost like doing a build, I took a lot of it apart, installed a different GPU and did some cable clean up.

Wow, now that is sparkling Gary, great clean up job there mate

Thanks Paul.

Nice cleanup, Gary. Looks like a new rig now. It will probably quit running without all that dust. It was used to it.
