<< To whoever said copper doesn't rust - tell me, what's that green stuff on copper rooftops? >>




Actually, I believe the true colour for copper is green, and the green colour is a result of oxidation, rather than rust...I could be wrong though...

Oh yeah, I cleaned the dust off the fins of my hsf, and my temps dropped about 10 degrees C....

rust is the result of the oxidation process of carbon steel
patina is the result of the oxidation process of copper
any way you look at it I am with the Big GUN on this one

by this logic Steel is brown.
wrongo coppers native color is copper hehe.
 
Oxidation is when Oxygen combines with a metal to become some new compound, usually part metal and oxygen.
Rust is the specific type of oxidation that Iron goes through. Since Iron is in Steel, steel rusts.
Copper oxidizes, and the color of copper oxide is green. The color of rust is brown/red.
Aka the Statue of Liberty and copper piping are green from the copper being oxidized.
 
I once helped a friend upgrade the hard drive. His computer has not been opened in two years and the inside was horrible.
For myself I upgrade every two weeks or so and clean the case when I take the mobo out..😀
 
I noticed a lot of dust sneaking into my system through the side vents. I have an InWin 500 tower with slots running vertically the entire length of each side panel. I taped those up, and not only does it help with stronger directional airflow, but all the dust gets caught in the front filters now. It seems like common sense in hindsight 🙂
