Just because they say it can handle 99 degrees doesn't mean you should actually let it get that hot. 83 is not far off. Since you said it was pretty dusty, then that's your problem. Just clean it out. Simple. |

| 1333209 | 2013-03-19 08:45:00 | A rule of thumb is every 10c cuts the life of the GPU by half, so keeping it a cool as you can is defiantly a good idea. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||

| 1333211 | 2013-03-19 21:49:00 | Cans of air are overpriced in my opinion. I bought a cheapo vacuum cleaner from bunnings for $60 that came with a wall mount bracket and an extra long hose with various nozzles and a blower option. It's not that great of a vacuum but it really shifts the dust on blow. | dugimodo (138) | ||
