Time to bust out the dirt buster and canned air!
When was the last time you cleaned out your case?

Pfft. You call that dust?
I've got so much dust here, my fans choke if there's air in the vicinity.

Last time I cleaned it out was about 8 months ago. It makes the heat stay around the CPU alot longer with dust in the heatsink.

Get a more powerful fan. Got a dual xeon server in work - been up for the past few years nearly straight - and there's very little dust in the case.

My case isn't on 24/7, which is why the dust collects
