    I wash mine sometimes too, easy way to get all of the dust out.

    Is the CPU running hot or the GPU?

    i tried but cant really find a program. rm clock doesnt work for it...at least the version i tried. another one was puma control, but that wouldnt keep the volts where i put them. i dont know what to do. when i tried to get the old paste of it wouldnt come off the cpu part of the heat sink so i used a screw driver which kinda scratched it a little, but not bad. maybe i put to little paste on it? the gpu is idleing at 49c cpu 58, without cover on cpu around 50, gpu 42c. underload cover on 78c cpu, gpu 72. cover off cpu 67c gpu 60. BTW i really appreciate you trying to help me lol

    I don't know about msi warranty, but you should contact them and check.

    Your temperatures are good (Y) i think you can get fans from other vendors too (But you'd need to match the model number.) i know someone in this forum knows about it because i've read it somewhere.
