So I finally went ahead and did what had to be done...

I cleaned my PC case out. Dust, everywhere. So many dead bunnies.

I forgot to take pics before the chaos but I remembered in time to take a pic of one dust filter as you can see below.

Before:



After:


My temps have dropped by around 10 degrees Celsius cooler, my PC runs quieter and my CPU usage is no longer at a constant 12-20% and now sits stable at 2-4%.

Overall it was pretty fun, not done some DIY computer fixes/changes in a while. Next up is upgrading the CPU to a 4770k, my current one is beginning to fall behind, a lot...

Wow that's quite alot of dust, When I cleaned my old crappy ass gaming pc out it had even more dust than yours in the fans and the inside was literally full of it im happy I cleaned it out or it probably would have overheated lol
