I wasn't able to remove the fan cause I can't find the correct screw driver but holy crap, I directed the light directly in there and it was huge dustballs, at first I thought it was a mouse trapped in there or just huge black cotton balls, it was so dusty. I was able to remove it with q tips though and when I check my temp with Speedfan it shows it as more normal now, before it was red and overheating. The dirt was so thick, it really looked like a black animal or some small black being in there.
