It would have been even more fun with pre-cleaning and post cleaning benchmark results. That would have shown how much performance degradation is caused my accumulated dust.
Pre-Cleaning:
CPU Idle: 46c
CPU Load: 65c ~ 67c
GPU Idle: 60c
GPU Load: 85c+
Post-Cleaning
CPU Idle: 42c
CPU Load: 57c
GPU Idle: 51c
GPU Load: around 75c ~ 78c
Dust was a reason yes, but the main reason for the change imo was that the thermal paste dried up.
Sweet!! By any chance you had run before and after Gaming or other Benchmarks like PCMarks, etc?
And good point about the Thermal Paste. What's the ideal time period for reapplying Thermal Paste? My computer is 3.5 years old almost and i have never checked the Thermal Paste ><
Cheers,
Still
