Wonder why your CPU cooler is not working as well as when you first installed it? This might be the reason:

Hehehe... Mine looked (almost) the same a few weeks ago when I took it off, because I was replacing my motherboard. I took the fan off and was shocked to see how much dust was stuck between the fan and my CoolerMaster Hyper 6+ Cooler and also between the fins of the cooler itself. 
Of course I cleaned it right away with High-Pressured Air. I did the same for my Video Card and for the case as well.
I try to do it every few months or so, even though sometimes I'm too lazy.
I highly recommend doing so for everyone, in order you keep your CPU, GPU and Case ventilized and cool.
