After spending an hour ripping apart our system and putting it back again, did this clean up job work at all? Here are our before and after temperatures for this project.
| Ambient Temp: 30C |
Before |
After |
| Case Temperature |
32C |
30C |
| CPU Temperature |
51C |
47C |
From the looks of things, it certainly did help. Not that much of a difference for some people, but I'm probably going to prolong this chip and system a little further. Dust build up is not healthy at all for any system, especially an overclocked system.
Get cleaning and let us know how much your temperatures plummet!
