delta7 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I started to get graphical glitches when he game was loading- done it with other games too so today I gave the inside of my PC a spring clean - WOW - more dust than a dusty thing covered in dust :shock: I blew it out with a hairdrier set to blow. anyway I seem to be ok now - I hope this has cured it- the card is only 6 months old. anyway it might be a good time for people to check their cooling systems and make sure they are clean and working. when working inside your PC - TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STATIC- remove power supply and earth yourself before touching anything Yep even in Scotland it gets warm for two days in the year :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Good call Delta, I tried to put more ram in last week and was similarly amazed at the dusty deposits. Is that right, that its bad to use a hoover re. static ? (used 2" paintbrush) Apparantly, 90% of household dust is dead skin. I must sit there shedding skin like an adolescent lizard. ~S~ Klinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sged Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah, need to do that as well...but using a hoover, is that a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I have used a hoover but prefer the hairdrier - or can of compressed air - it seems to get into all the corners better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 No hair = no hairdrier Compressed air it is. ~S~ Klinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beebop-RIP Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Oregon is a lot like Scotland. It's warm 2 days out of the year. I have my case on a TV tray next to my desk and have found that if I take the side off I get a lowering of around 10 C in temps plus I can get those dust bunnies before they reproduce! DUST KILLS PC's! Give your case a loving blowjob tonight. It will love you forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo.Pepper Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I have not had a case on my primary pc in years. It has 5 hard drives and two CD/DVDROM drives in it. I can't imagine what I would have to do to cool it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
