Default OMG its the EVIL dust again

Well , i started to play FEAR last 3 days (cool game btw) , and i noticed it stress my puter hard . And from time to time its started to hand . Since i cleaned puter like 2 months back , i first dint think about dust , rather OC of gpu&cpu to high for that game , so i runned asus probe for the CPU and rivatuner for GPU temperatures .

Started the game , after like 3 minutes i heard probe warning beep , quick swith to desktop , shown me some scary stuff , GPU was running like 110 whit was too muth , CPU hiting almos 90 (whith with my cooling was something i dint see befor).

So i shut it down . After taking off the cooler from CPU i noticed that radiator was almos complitly dusted+haired . Same with GPU .

And now a lil conclusion , last time it lasted like 5 months without cleaning , but it was winter , so windows almos all the time closed , almos no airflow from outside . Now its hot , window all the time full open , alot dust comming from street . And the second and MAIN problem , my cat started loosing some of his hair for summer ( especialy the lil one whit are almos ivisible ) and these hairs created a some kind of web that doubled amout of dust that is catch in the radiator .

After cleanig all puter parts , runned the probes again , and full load CPU=69 , GPU=85 IoI

I feeled like sharing this lil story with you guys

PS. I dint know wher to put this reale .

you can put a strainer in front of any openings in your case, then no hairs get in!
you nearly cant keep dust out, although you are using a real fine strainer but this would harm your airflow, iff you use normal fans
