Have u guys that have had a single psu for like a year or 2,ever cleaned the thing out before ?

I took the thing apart and inside was a horror show of dust, i mean not just a thin layer or dust but like inches of dust.

I took a plastic thin tool and also cleaned in the undersides of the things that say high voltage ect, and the heatsink's all kinds of tight spots and i pulled out like huge glob's of dust. I wonder how that was affecting performance pf my psu lol.
 
It actually effects it a lot...its the same as a CPU...the cooler they run the better then run...

And yes, I just did the same thing when I modded my adjustable pots on my Tt...:eek:
