WOW! Actual flames caught on camera! Good timing. Is the system ok?

I'm not sure. A friend of a friend sent it.
NogaNet is an Argentine brand not recommended by anyone who seriously values end-user product quality.
In a word - awful.

Shamefully dusty bedroom pc lol. Just had to vacuum the radiators so it could breathe again!

on the floor? always avoid put it on the floor since the dust accumulated on the floor

Nuckles56 · Nov 16, 2019

Yikes, I thought my rig was bad sitting on the floor. Bad enough that I used some fine fabric to make dust filters, to avoid having to clean it any more often than I have to

Panty hose as a improvise filter?

Nope, I used a similar fabric, like I used in the HTPC I built, the photos should be in the ghetto mod thread somewhere

Only if previously worn by a sweaty lass :rolleyes:

Nope, it's on a chest of draws 80cm high, I just haven't had the side panel off for a very long time :eek:

filters would be a good idea! I built it for max airflow at the time and regret it slightly now lol, my new build has filters and I'm never going back!

there's no dust filters on this build, I made it for max airflow at the time and regret it slightly now lol, my new build has filters and I'm never going back!

I've done that. Works really well actually. Dryer sheets work well too.

For those that don't have twitter, tekwendall's picture;

That is fixable. I've cleaned worse. Granted, not much worse. Vinegar, a toothbrush, some elbow grease, some time followed by metal polish. He mentioned the rads in the same post, and with an overnight vinegar treatment or two, they should be ok.

Wonder how long those blocks have been gathering crap? Even after an year, I had some slime-like goo on my blocks.

That block looks like it belongs to a GTX1080(only a guess), so it might have been a few years.

sam_86314 · Dec 16, 2019

Decided to finally clean the front intake filter on my media server...

My house may be dusty, but no other computer I own has gotten this bad. The inside wasn't too bad, so I guess the filter is doing its job.

That's better.

Makes me wonder what my H70 looks like on the inside. It's quite old now and the cooling capacity seems to have dipped significantly recently.

I'd open it up and clean it. Can't hurt. If you do, take pictures for us.

hat · Dec 16, 2019

That might be pretty hard? It's not like a custom loop, these things weren't made to be opened up like that...

That's a fair point, but I'm sure it can be done. If you're thinking of replacing it, what do you have to lose really?

hat · Dec 16, 2019

That's a big can of worms right there. I have a Cryorig cooler sitting in a box that I could use to replace it if I have to... but it's not going to cool as well as the H70 would (or should). I'd almost want to replace it with an H80, but then part of me would want to go big with the H150 or something... but then that requires a new case.

The fluid level has likely dropped as a result of evaporation.

Quite possible as well... there's got to be a way to service this thing?

If you find out, let me know
