CPU cooler exposed to the hazards of smoking (with clean one to compare)
I have been buying computer parts on ebay for many years, usually cleaning and/or fixing anything that is not up to standard. Never have I seen such a filthy part. The bottom part of the pic shows a CPU heatsink & fan assembly which has been exposed to tobacco smoke (probably for years). Needless to say, it stank strongly of the stuff. The top part of the picture shows a similar (clean) part for comparison.
This is also the first time I binned a working computer part rather than cleaning it!
