It’s been about 4 years since I built Hellforge. It’s gotten some updates:
But the one thing that has remained constant: the CPU heat sink and cooler. My old house was dusty and no matter how much I cleaned, within a week or two there’d be quite a lot of dust. I did a bit of superficial cleaning on the insides but never bothered cleaning the CPU heat sink/fan.
The hesitation comes mainly because I had a torrid time when installing the heat sink the first time and didn’t want to damage it. Off late the processor’s been running hot and the CPU fan’s been on overdrive pretty much all the time. Last week I was curious about the temperatures it was running at and HWMonitor - I wasn’t prepared for this.

Long time, no music.. slightly occupied with house shifting and new job - but more on that later. For now, enjoy the songs
Bringing you more good songs… hopefully you’ll like them. Also moving to a fortnightly schedule.
Another week of missed songs.. but I’m back.. again. Enjoy ♫♬
