    spring clean

    In August!
    Not being able to see the fins on the cpu heatsink prompted a spring clean. pics to come, maybe.

    So I've spent the last 2 hours dissasembling and using the air compressor to blow the dust away.
    Just one small bit of metal work, couldnt help myself, I removed the PSU compartment "roof", now I can run a third DX11 card as a dedicated Phys-x card.

    I tend to build a new one, have to replace everything under warranty, run it for two years and then start again,

    quit ya giggling!
    I only had two screws left over!
    and I can account for one!

    around 3 hours, not bad I reckon,

    hmm, I wonder if I can retrofit the original 8800 fan

    I cannot believe with sooo much dust how there is not corrosion on the board
    When I was living near the beach I have to clean the PC very often other ways the dust plus humidity will kill the machine in no time.
    I never was able to keep a graphics card going well for more than a year
