It is right to say that the ventilation of the CPU has never been a major concern when buying a PC. But now, thanks to the high clock frequencies of chipsets and overclocking fever, we are all giving the importance it deserves in this section of our configuration. The internal temperature reaches our CPU is directly responsible for many cases of crashes and instability in our systems. This is because the amount of heat given off by different elements of our PC increases alarmingly with each new generation of components. And never mind if we practice techniques overclocking on any element of PC. The determining factors are the clock frequency and voltage it needs to function with the following rule: the higher the frequency, the more heat and more voltage, more heat.
To find an good cooling for your custom build or branded system is exactly simple as what you try to buy an hardware upgrade. You can go for cheap cooler for regular performance and high end for overclocking sutff. Usually it is possible to provide cooling for many elements of your PC, such as RAM, optical drives, chipset of the board (although some number plates are already part of this chipset fan), and even use more powerful methods based on Peltier cell Liquid-cooled, gas cooling, etc..
Some Tips to Cool your PC
Put your PC in a place that favors the entry of air (on a table near the window), avoid putting it under the table and in corners with no ventilation. To clean excess dust take a compressed air spray and apply to the vents open the box and remove debris. This also may do so by blowing and turning the box. Pay particular interest in the fan power supply, for this you can use a cotton swab or something similar.
When you open the box, power cables and belts are usually loose. Take more flanges or attach elastic bands and belts and cables in the back of the plate (the plate). It would be best to use clamps, rubber bands because eventually end up biting and tearing.
There are a lot of thermal pastes. The bag comes with the fan is sufficient in most cases. If you have a processor heating a lot, do not hesitate to spend a few dollars more for the Artic Silver 5 or ceramic whose composition still allows a better heat conduction. To buy an improved cooling solution can be costly. This put a brass plate on the processor to allow more surface contact with the cooler, and put conductive paste on the core of it.
The newly released graphics card dissipate large amounts of heat, just look at the impressive heatsinks that look some graphics cards. These cards feature drivers that allow us to force the operation of both the GPU (Graphics Process Unit) and memory. With the heat sinks can bring them out by default more performance, but if you really want is to express its full potential, we need a better cooling system. To place one of these systems, release the old (to do press with a screwdriver on the plastic tabs that attach to the plate and remove it), put the new refrigerator, and enjoy.
The hard drive is an essential part of our machine, why should not forget, especially when we have a model 7,200 rpm IDE or SCSI over 10,000 rpm. To improve the temperature there are many options.
Regular Cpu Fan Cooling
This type of cpu fan cooling is widely used on regular systems. This one is the most widely used system and it is more than enough to keep your CPU below the critical temperature. It is important to check the compatibility of cpu cooling with the socket. The second is to see if it can support the model that you will take. I suggest you take a cooler with copper base, with a fan 80 x 80 mm. The small fans have the annoying tendency to make much ado about very little air stirring.
Be aware that the cooler comes with the micro processor boxed more than enough for multimedia or office. You will not be at full load for several hours. For games, especially those coming and video editing, I recommend taking 100% copper heatsink. My personal opinion on the cooler on the market for a tight budget would take a coolermaster 100% copper, except for large budgets, the SLK 900 series version of Heat pipe. Know any time they are sold without fans and are not compatible with all motherboards, but at least you will have the best on the market. In addition they are sold without a fan, this is also an advantage because you can pair it with quiet fans in 90 x 90 mm. To be reserved for big budgets or those who want to overclock their CPU .
Liquid Cooling
This one is the costlier one. This system has the advantage of being quieter, though some kits are always equipped with fans. The main advantage is that it keeps ever lower the temperature of the processor and this time the hot air produced by the CPU is less important because the radiator is in direct contact with water. For those who fear for the sealing of the system, I advise them to learn about the many kits available, but overall this point there are not too many complaints. The major drawback is the place that the system with pump, hose kits and some fans. In addition, this system is more expensive than for air-cooling.
It is bit messy to maintain and handle. The same is also costlier. It depends on your choice if you want to buy an costlier option to cool your system and specifically if you are planning to overclock your cpu or GPU for better gaming or multimedia performance then this one is the most recommended one.
