| 621290 | 2007-12-15 08:17:00 | Have u BEEN in the case, in the last 3 years?? Might need a clean. Yea that's what I thought, so I opened up my pc and checked...there was definitely accumulated dust in the 2 fans...so I went to buy canned air from dicksmith and sprayed it all over...pretty much no dust in there now...let's see if this fixes the problem. Sorry for bothering you guys...should have thought of this earlier :blush: |
