Default And I wondered why my temps were bad... (Pics)
So after taking my card out I am greeted with this:


And I also noticed that the heatsink on my AGP bridge was no longer attached to the card:


Here are two more pics of the large amount of dust:



After taking off the heatsink I find even more piles of dust:


It took me a good 30 minutes to clean all of that up.
But I did forget to take a picture after I cleaned it off. Opps lol

It is moments like this when I remind myself why exactly I have fan filters for all my cases.

Sure buttloads of airflow sounds nice, but these pics would scare me strait on that subject anyday.

O yes! All my old systems used to look like that. Of course that was back in the day, when it was: Build computer -> Put side on case-> Never touch it again until it stops working -> Rinse and repeat.

I clean EVERYTHING in my rig once a month. Unscrew all fans, remove mobo, everything. Air blast, wet cloth (for Case), and vacuum. When done, I put it all back together. Takes me almost two hours.

I do believe that I need to start cleaning out my system at least every one or two months....
