Is my computer dying?

#40

Quote:You mean dust can prevent the fan from working properly?

 

I learned fans can get louder temporarily when I got my hearing aids. When I told Mom about that, she said I am just not used to the noise and when she got her first pair, traffic sounded like a plane. So I never thought something could be wrong until yesterday when I could hear the fan without them.

 

Yes, I do have a pet and carpet, but Mom recently vacuumed my room and dusted everything.
 

If it is caked on then yes it can impede the movement, gpus usually have an idle temperature a little over 100 degrees, so this isn't like a soft dust ball, it's in a way cooked onto the heatsink.  Then again these are all assumptions, your computer could be spotless on the inside (though I highly doubt it, if it hasn't been opened and cleaned in 4 years).
