Thread: PC Cooling

As we know PCs generate heat during operation especially if used at full capacity. In order not to spoil the components of a computer is important that they do not exceed certain levels of heat the minimum temperature optimum is usually less than 25 or 30 º C and maximum temperature have to consult on product specifications or manufacturer's website.

The heat reduces the performance of computer and makes it unstable producing hang and sometimes inexplicable failures. Believe it or not not always your operating system's fault that your computer crashes.

In the long term it reduces the service life of equipment components. ALL electronic equipment components produce heat to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore we must find solutions that maintain an acceptable temperature for all components

If you want your team perform at 100% and have a modicum of interest in preserving the functionality of its components as long as possible then you want to read this manual.

The choice of these systems always depend on the use and performance that we will give our PC so it is important to know some of these technologies to see which system may be the best for us.

Is to renew the air constantly in contact with the components to match the ambient temperature. This can be done through passive and active cooling ventilation.

This ventilation is achieved by placing fans in the box and on certain elements In powerful computers are typically installed several fans in and out in the box as well as more complex systems however the usual mid-range PCs and low a fan is normal.

At present there are models of fans more like a turbine with capacity to evacuate hot air from the heat sink. The drawback is the noise and maintenance costs.
