My crappy graphics card's fan has conked out YET AGAIN. I am past caring for it any more as it's such a shitty card, so I just slapped this random fan on it.

And here's the dust scraped just off of the fans. It's not including the dust balls that were stuck on the heatsink radiators. I added the lens cap and screwdriver for scale. Folks, this is a lot of dust and if it's any indication of what's left in the actual case and other parts, I have a lot of cleaning to do.

Such a pretty card just to be hidden away in a tower...

It's funny how tech companies marketing to game players even decorate the heatsink. It's pretty hard to enjoy the aesthetics of a circuit board when you will not even be looking at it once it's installed in the computer. Even if you had a window into the side of the case, the other cards would likely block the view.

I Have recently had to change out my graphics card to keep me in the 21'st century of gaming and as we took the old one out a mate of mine suggested using it with the Friesians for a few photos.

So here's what I got....

The graphics card fan on our backup server has been in the process of dying for the past month, so we tore off the small heat sink and fan and slapped on a huge passive heat sink with thermal epoxy.

Postscript: It didn't end up working :(
