Today was computer cleaning day, and out of boredom i decided to do an experiment in the process
I systematically turned off fans let it idle for 20 minutes and recorded temps
Ambient always the same @14c
now i wasn't surprised when things got hotter as i turned off fans, but i was surprised how much cooler things got after i had blown the dust out an oiled all of my fans (exhaust fan was especially sticky)
i didnt expect to see much result from this, maybe 1 degree at best but up 7 on some parts!
