Ah.. hmm.
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;31158648]Oh man, I hate calling tech support. They never seem to figure out the problem and its just time-consuming. Nevertheless, you're probably right. I'll end up calling tech support sometime later. Still, if anyone still has any ideas how to fix it, I'm all ears. Otherwise, since I already have a thread up, I do still have another question: my CPU used to idle around 37-39 degrees Celsius and now it idles around 41 degrees Celsius and it goes up to around 70 degrees Celsius when in heavy use with high-resource programs, like games. In the beginning, I thought this might be a problem with the thermal compound evaporating or otherwise, for lack of a better word, disappearing. However, after reading more into the subject, I figured out that it could be a problem with dust cluttering in the fan and the heatsink. I can't say for sure if that is the true problem, but I did find practical mounds of dust crowding the fans on my power supply and I definitely know I have pretty big dust problems. That said, what is the best way to get rid of dust out of heatsinks, fans, and just out of the computer in general without damaging anything?[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16848020355&cm_re=dust_cleaner-_-48-020-355-_-Product[/url]
