imgur.comDude...that's not a heatsink or fan. That's just dust with plastic and metal on it.

I would have kept that cooler and spent the money on some filters, or even a new case which has filters.

Yeah I was dumb enough to automatically diagnose it to be failing (high CPU temps) without checking if it was simply dust buildup.
Oh well, the Hyper 212 EVO will get much better care... I promise.

Buy some cheap stockings, put them over your case fans, pull them tight and screw them back into place and cut off the excess.
Should help to stop it from happening again

Doesn't sound like too bad of an idea.

Also use your cpu fan in pull :)

For some reason it didn't strike me as something I should check every so often. I really don't know why.
