What happens when you are busy

[Dolk]

So I haven't been doing a lot of overclocking or really anything with my desktop except play games on it. Its been a very long 2 semesters at college. I just happened to look into my fan grill of my Antec 900 the other day and saw this: (My CPU was still heavily OCed at the moment too.)

After taking apart my case I looked at the full damage

And after the bath (litteraly I put my radiator under the faucet and jet blast it with water. Didn't have a can o' air)

While getting rid of the micro bubbles I decided to screw in my front grills with the fans RUNNING at full blast. My knuckles lived but its scary :D

What were your temps like before you cleaned the rad, versus after, Dolk?

That is pretty nasty, for sure.

Idk, but I'm still at 50C with my OC atm. I would have to imagine near 57+ with all that dust and ambient temp. My roommates like to keep it warm here.
