Cooling, better understand to optimize. The centerpiece of the stability of your system, cooling is sometimes misunderstood and neglected .
Small reminder and some basic formats :
As you know your computer is composed of different cards and calculation units as processor, which are themselves composed of million transistors. When all these people went to work in addition to the results obtained performance is also reflected high heat that emerges from all equipment operating.
The overheating of the elements of your PC can be short or long term responsible for thewear your equipment and in extreme cases the "grilling".
Further components include processors (CPU) and graphics processing units ( GPU ) ever- increasing performance and release heat grows more and more accordingly. The overclocking results also excess heat the initial thermal value and there, without adequate cooling, the barbecue is provided. To overcome these outbreaks emerging in the heart of our CPUs, the concept of format was introduced early in the computer world:
To facilitate cooling and in particular improving transition airflow by the position of Fans and components , cases have changed over the decades of format: the most common today is the ATX form factor that comes in several sub - formats: Micro - ATX (or MicroATX form factor , reduced size of ATX -based the same architecture ) by example!
However, a new format is expected to take over: BTX . Let us hope that this format will further enhance the provision of components and a better distribution of heat .
How about the temperature?
Well not with a thermometer ! Most of your components ( CPU , Graphics Card , Hard, Motherboard) feature of a temperature sensor integrated. It is also possible to purchase additional sensors on the market. The information collected can be accessed via software monitoring showing the temperatures achieved , among them include SpeedFan or Everest . Or via BIOS to display the CPU temperature .
View temperatures in SpeedFan :
Run SpeedFan , temperatures are displayed on the first page . However you can follow the evolution of these temperatures through curves for this click on the tab "CHARTS". Select by checking the temperatures you want to monitor.
Note that the SpeedFan software permits you to control your fans the same way as rehobus .
View temperatures in Everest
Launch Everest, select the menu "computer" Then "prob". Wait a few seconds for the probes calculate values .
The critical temperatures :
To give you an idea of what really reflects the temperature readings we see the values not to exceed. These values are given as illustrative of which may vary depending on the technology component of the system as "Cool & Quiet " AMD.
In Activity (Full)
Processor 60 ° C ( some series processor as Pentium 4 Prescott heat much more than their counterparts)
Motherboard : 55 ° C
Graphics card : 70 ° C (The new graphics cards including NVIDIA 6XXX series become hot )
Hard Disk : 50 ° C
Note that if temperatures are displayed seem impossible to you that you do not see a physical release caloric Therefore , in this case it is possible that your sensor is defective ...
