Started having overheat shutdown of my Asus Rampage III that I built back in 2011. I figured that my Intel CPU had outlived its planned life.
Opened up the case and noticed that I had neglected for 11 years simple cleaning maintenance of the machine.
Digging deeper into the muck I removed the fans on either side of the CPU liquid cooling coil.
That white stuff on the fins of the coil is a solid layer of dust bunnies.
Uck I sure did a dis-service this normally reliable machine.
