A year's dust/lint on my H100 radiator (pic)

A year's dust/lint on my H100 radiator:

16492

FYI. I do run my computer a lot, more than most gamers per week. I suspect somewhere around 80hrs/wk.

I just rotated my H100 block to put the hoses at the top too. I was getting 10-11*C disparity between two cores, I suspect there may have been an air bubble. Also I added a 35mm fan on the Vcore area of the VRM (I know they are not much airflow). I updated pic #6 in my ModsRigs. Going to try a re-OC very soon.

Overclocking is useless to me if it is not rock stable.

You don't use your vacuum cleaner for that, do you? Geez they generate a ton of static electricty, right at the hose!

Remove it from the case before cleaning it, silly. Then make sure you earth it while cleaning it.
