i put mine on at the wrong angle, so the wire wouldnt reach the 4-pin wrapping around the cooler as its meant to, i think it ended up cutting over the top of the fan :(

Ok, pictures uploaded to photobucket and now its here.

Opened the casing and heres what i saw.
Image
Cables are all messy and dust everywhere.

After removing some on the stuff inside I removed the entire front and took out the harddrives. And guess what, more dust.
Image
Image
Image

CPU fan was even worse.
Image
The dust actually came right off and was still a donut when i held it in my hand.
Image

So, after a lot of cleaning, fixing, moving and coughing, this is what I ended up with.
Image
Image

Its a bit better, my graphic cards not over heating anymore. Not perfect, but then again, what is perfect?

:lol: at the ring of dust - it's amazing the amount of dust that can build up in PCs...

It was actually worse than i would have thought. Filled up a pack of cigaretts, empty ofc, with dust. Well, it got clean and my graphic cards isnt at 110degrees Celcius when playing CoD4 anymore. :D

A while ago I got fed up of the ridiculous sound of my graphics card attempting to reduce the GPU temperature from 68C to aobut 65C and replaced it with an Accelero S2 passive heastink.

Image

It is huge - you can see the 80mm fan place on the case underneath - (I avoided the Carpet Fail :) ). I tried to install a 120mm fan on the case next to it, but it won't fit. The fan is now mounted on the outside of the case, so it works, never going above 50C under load , but she ain't pretty.
