LYC: Didn't know cleaning a CPU fan was so important.

Posted by Jelly Oct 27 '08, 07:32

I shut my computer down when I noticed that the four cores ran at 77-77-72-73 degrees Celsius while Folding@Home was on. Yeah, that's just a little too hot for a computer. So after about twenty minutes of cleaning the dust on and behind the CPU fan, I'm up and running again.

My current temperatures? 58-54-51-58. Also with all four cores running at 100%.

I should probably do that more often.

I have a low powered vacuum cleaner that I used to vacuum all the vents on my electronics. I even opened my moms comp and gently vacuumed the inside. -- nm - lileve Oct 27, 07:35 1
