Listen, you imbecilic idiot.

I build my own computers and I do not follow conventional designs.

My motherboard is not housed in a box, but rather it is completely
open on a small table.  To ensure adequate cooling, I place a large
fan next to the table to pass high volumes of air across both the
CPU cooler and the HDDs.

At some time in the past (I don't recall exactly) the fan attached
to the CPU cooler stopped working.  But that did not matter because
the high air flow from my external fan could easily provide the
cooling.

Now, high volumes of air passed over a surface will, eventually,
produce lots of accumulated dust.  I had just neglected to clean
the system.

In the future, do not EVER attempt to overturn my statements
with your idiotic, but only to YOU perceptive, rebuttals.
