My younger son, who builds high-end gaming computers, bequeathed me the remains of his just retired rig. It has a water cooler for the CPU. A bit dusty, he said...
Definitely an instance where pictures aren't required.Cleaner than my Y fronts.
When the heatsink looks like it's covered in wool it might be time to buy a HVAC and lots of compressed airMy younger son, who builds high-end gaming computers, bequeathed me the remains of his just retired rig. It has a water cooler for the CPU. A bit dusty, he said...

A radiator matrix! But you'd never have guessed before cleaning.When the heatsink looks like it's covered in wool it might be time to buy a HVAC and lots of compressed air
I mean, I say heatsink, that's merely an assumption. It could be anything under there. Maybe even @Drago's y-fronts!
Indeed, but the cat apparently chewed up the magnetic mesh that sits on top...I will definitely be replacing that!Someone clearly doesn't clean their room particularly often!
Should be using filters on the fans to prevent that dust ingress.
I was chatting to a customer before Christmas and he's got an all singing and dancing rig, said it was a fan-less design and silent (has it in living room next to TV).
