As it rebooted I noticed the cpu temp @ 61C . Whooooaaaah! Pulled everything apart and had an hour long session of vacuuming fans & cleaning heatsinks. What a mess. Guess I should pay a little more attention to internal maintenance. Back to operating temps around 42C. Was going to build a new computer this year anyway, but hate to melt the old one down prematurely. Awards

Most never take off the cover and don't realize how much dust builds up on fans and internal components; nothing more damaging to a system than excess heat. Awards
