hi all,
here is a bit background info:
I noticed recently that my CPU fan is making a alot of noises, and the temperature is hitting 52 'C even on idle. I thought its probably that there is too much dust stuck in the fan. So I took it out and cleaned it up (there was indeed a lot of dust.).
All the process went smoothly. but after I put the fan back on and start my pc. the temp went up to 70 'C just after about a minute! I immediatly turned it off and try to take it out and assemble it again. But the problem still remains!
Like I said, I didn't do anything except cleaning the fan with a toothbrush, brushing all (most) of the dust that got stuck in the metal part outward. I guess it is possible that some dust got pushed inside, but that shouldn't be that big of a problem right?
I've also noticed that the layer of "glue like" material on/between my cpu and the bottom of the fan is pretty thin/thinning. Would this be the problem? They also become sticky after i turned on the computer, probably because the temp is so high.
This is all I know. right now I am on a labtop. But I really would like to use my powerful desktop soon!
Thanks for the help guys
PS, my machine:
Pentium D 820
The fan that came with the CPU
ASUS L5PD2 borad
1 gig DDR 667 ram (corsair, sp.?)
120 gig 7200 seagate hardisk
ATI X700 Pro 256
On-board sound, internet
