Fluff!

Invest in some pipe cleaners. I cleaned out my CPU heatsink today. I have
had CPUCool kicking in at 40C to cool my CPU down (been cooling abut 90% of
the time, as well as underclocking it), but now it does not get above 38C at
the proper FSB.

I got them from a tobacconist / newsagent in Leeds city centre on the
headrow. Go tthem for the kids on a spur of the moment thing (for making
animals etc).

I saw the fluff in my heat sink, and did not want to hoover it because of
the static, and didn't want to go finding heat sink tape. Just seemed to be
the ideal thing.
