    Default Clean radiators = lower temps :)

    I decided it was time to take the rig to the garage and blow her out. Fired up the compressor and went to town on both of my rads and their fans. Got rid of a LOT of dust. Bring it back in, hook it up, fire it up. Oh looky here...coolant temp is now 5ºC lower than it was before

    Guess my rads were dirtier than I thought

    My current box is air cooled, but it's definitely time for the blow out too. Getting pretty nasty in there.

    ah...dust. Hate that stuff. There's some days that I look at my two cats and three chinchillas, and rather than seeing loved pets, I see little dust machines doing what they do best.
