Hello,
My CPU heatsink fan doesn't automatically speed up like it used to when the CPU usage stays high for a long period of time.
The stupid decision from my side that I believe might have lead to this problem is this: I wanted to remove dust from the insides of my computer, and since I didn't have a can of air, I used a vaccum cleaner with a hose instead, to suck up all the dust. I put the hose near the heatsink fan blades, making the fan spin crazy fast in hope of getting out the dust.
Is this a unique case of sheer dusting foolishness? Or is this common, and therefore a solution readily available?
I didn't put my specs since I think they're not needed, but I can post them if necessary.
Thanks for your help!
