Lo lo,

My fans (i think) are starting to click and aren't performing as they should recently. My heatsink fan is giving me the most problems. I can hear it trying to get max speed but gives up and spins at normal speed. Also gives off a clicking sound (not my harddrive anyway i've checked). My temp at max cpu usage is higher than usual but nothing dangerous to my cpu.

SOoooo, i was wondering if this was caused by dust as it looks fairly dusty, with strands of my dogs hairs in some places
Is this most likely what is happening or is my heatsink fan buggered?

Thanks
