Getting ready to give my computer a long overdue dusting. Hopefully this will help keep my computer from bluescreening during the VRChat meetups
Well, two initial thoughts:
1) The HDMI mini adapter has apparently gotten permanently stuck/fused into the slot on my GPU. I hope I didn't damage anything while trying and failing to remove it >,<
2) The amount of dust in the computer is not as bad as I thought it would be, though there is still a lot
Wow, took the front cover off and there was a LOT of dust built up o.o
Also, there are some dust bunnies trapped under the dust screen on the front, and there's no easy way to remove it.
Took a photo of the interior of the computer before I started working
@Zauberin Viv/Yari: pretty impressive for someone who is 10cm tall :3
Good work!
@Zauberin She's a bit dirty!
Well, I got it mostly clean before the canned air started running out out. Just booted up and everything seems to be working.
Of particular note, my GPU's baseline running temperature appears to be 20 degrees cooler than normal (in fahrenheit). CPU seems to be running 5-10 degrees cooler as a baseline.
