LOL..... so the other day I went to radio shack and spent $30..bought some compressed air and two types of CPU thermal compound (my northbridge heatsink requires a special kind.. but I think I got the wrong one >.<  )

So before I decided to open it up, I sprayed some air through the intake fans, then through the exhaust. Saw a ton of dust come out, but I figured there was probably a ton more stuck in there in the crevices.

I tested it by gaming hardcore for an hour.... FLAWLESS FPS.... CPU temp maxed out at 76c. Idling around 55c..

Guess I don't need to open it up after all.. lol.
