No one?

The only solution i can think of is to open up the PSU and blow some cold air into it


any other suggestions would be helpful

um....yeah, clean your shyt out.
i clean the dust from the case fans once a month.
i clean the cpu, psu and gpu every 6 months.

Them samples like $12 .

lol I think I seen some cheaper. I'll look into it later. I guess you can always try them out at microcenter or whatever

there's also a bunch of videos that try to explain the difference between the different switches

you got filters? I'm all filtered up and it makes things much easier. I just clean the filters, and everything else stays pretty dust-free

i seen some dude on youtube use his sisters stockings as filters

and it actually worked.




anyway, does anyone know what tool this guy is using to blow all this dust?


I wanna cop

if you are PC gaming on the cutting edge then there will be problems.
the x60 nvidia series has done me very well.

i've had the 560ti and the 760 and they have not failed me.

i keep my rig off the floor, that helps.
the case has a perforated sort of surface that i can remove and wash off in the sink.

this is my case:

that's compressed air.

at letting his rig get to that point to begin with.

I've been on the three monitor cutting edge since its inception with the 5870. It hasn't been this bad with broken games since I started this shyt. The fact that sli just started to be a major problem again is mindblowing to me. I went 2 years with the 690 and had very little problems. Then I went 6 months with my new rig and sli and very little problems. Fall hits and all these problems start coming back. It's unacceptable and makes no sense. I dunno why these problems even exist. A lot of enthusiasts have sli. Nvidia, or whoever you wanna blame, just decided to stop giving a fukk for some reason. I don't know why.

I blame the new consoles, but nobody here wants to believe that, so take it for what it's worth. But you have to admit the timing is strange.

Gpu manufactures are out here pushing 4k like it's the new big thing, knowing damn well you gotta have 2 or 3 top of the line cards for that. Then they go off and fukk up the mechanism that actually makes that shyt work.

High end, bleeding edge is in trouble and that saddens me, cuz that's why I game on the pc. Hopefully shyt'll get resolved soon and go back to normal.

It has to, right?

you're right, they're a little more expensive than I remember. some of them, like MaxKeyboard will take the price of the sampler off the price of a keyboard, but their keyboards are pretty pricey to begin with

I think the CM Storm is one of the better inexpensive mechanical keyboards

monoprice actually makes one, but I can't vouch for the quality. it's also only cherry mx blue (clicky)

that's just a air compressor. kind of overkill, but it gets the job done

 

[winb83]

Don't ever do a mini-itx build. spent the whole day taking it apart and putting it back together just to transfer a PC that already worked to a Fractal Node 304. Damn temps are idling in the high 30s to low 40s but I don't feel like re-seating the processor tonight so it is what it is.

air compressor

I had a vacuum cleaner that pushed air out and I used it to clean my pc, now I just take it apart and use canned air duster

@winb83
Mini-ITX are novelty builds or people with very small apartments and every square inch matters.

Stop bullshytting, get a full tower and build yourself a beast.

Mini-itx builds are for home theater PCs. They fit on the TV stand and blend in.

Meh, I guess. A roku fits my needs just fine. My days of downloading movies are done. If rather pay $3 to rent a stream instantly than to download a movie.
