    DIY dust filters... Installed them last night. Made from cut up surgical masks :P Time will tell how they perform. Ghetto or no? Methinks the tape is a nice touch :D EDIT: Sorry for the huge pictures! How do I make em smaller? EDIT 2: Got it, I think.

    i7-2600k running hot?

    I'd say 85-90 degrees at load is quite high for your chip. Are you sure you haven't left the voltage to be auto-regulated by the mobo? Decreasing Vcore gave me around a 7 degree drop on my 3570 (non-k).

    computer won't power on... help?

    It's possible that the old PSU damaged something, though it's not very likely. The PSU usually dies itself before it damages PC components, if it's a quality PSU. But, like the others said, you should acquire another rig to test the new PSU on. I bought a faulty power supply once for testing...
