So I use a can of dusters and blow through on some of the fans in my case and the CPU fan.
I heard this is bad as it can damage the fans. Though now I am worried, how do I know if a fan is damaged or not?
So I applied artic silver 5 onto the processor and then pressed it down. While I was trying to screw in the hyper evo 212, it came off and the heatsink seperated from the processor.
Is the Thermal paste not going to be as effective?
I was wondering if I damaged my CPU (AMD FX 6300) long term?
I found out I didn't screw it in properly when the computer would Post and then immediately shut down.
After that, I opened the case and re screw everything and everything seems to be working fine.
Any long term damage to the CPU...
I am using a fx 6300 with a Asus m5a97 R2.0 mobo.
I fired up CPu-Z and noticed that the voltage and the Clock speed is not what it I set it to be in the BIOS.
It is lower than it should be, so I restarted and went to the Bios and showed that it should be clocked at 4.2 ghz at 1.3V as the core...

1 tb WD is $59.99
750 GB WD is $84.99
The 250Gb, 320GB, and 500 GB are all about $55. Which is only $5 cheaper than the 1TB version.
What is going on there? 0.0
