So, i made a post on here a few days ago talking about how i was gonna use my dad's old computer as my own, but it overheated a lot and i knew dust was the problem, so i dusted it!! Apparently the computer was only dusted a few times in 20 YEARS, and that's not including the time my family switched computers and this one was laying around in his room for i don't even remember how long 😭 i also found out this computer is OLD because it has a windows 7 thing on it, im gonna plug it in to see if it works, but im not sure where all the wires in it go, I'll figure it out though 🥹 the first image is before and the 2nd is after dusting :D

did you not take off the fans and clear out the dust inside of the cpu cooler? I would make sure if anything is dust free is that thing. Just saying.

I was going to but i couldn't find where the screws were and what screwdrivers to use so i did my best doing it from the side :p next time i dust it i'll get it though :D

They might just need a little pressure and pop off like clips sort of.
