Lol, this was a LOONG time ago. As you can see by my rank :P
But, it was because my fans were clogged with dust and ****. It had about 2-4 inches of dust so compact it was like felt.

WOW, that is a lot of dust, i guess you gotta make sure you regularly clean it all or get dust filters, I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen to mine haha.
