Dust bunnies
|
|
So my ESXi box for firewall + fileserver etc sits on the floor in my kids room.
Recently it had taken to overheating when we would use Plex, so I stopped using Plex on it.
And then yesterday it took to just overheating all the time, making an incessant beeping noise.
Time to clean it out. Ugh.
Let's go!
OH GOD
It was so thick that it just peeled off.
I'm scared to see inside this thing now.
Actually that was a lot better than I figured. You can barely see how on the CPU fan, it's just completely caked over, but beyond that there's not a lot of caked on stuff, just a heavy dusting of dust bunnies.
Outside, I brushed everything off and washed/dried the filter.
Inside, I peeled off the dirt on the CPU and sprayed the rest out, it's GTG now!
No clean pics though.
I should have upgraded it to ESXi 6 while I was thinking about it. Oh well, maybe this weekend!
