How to install coolers in the system unit correctly. Installation of coolers in the system unit

Fan ( ) - a device that provides cooling of the processor. As a rule, the cooler is installed on top of the processor itself. There are various models of the coolers, for different sockets.

There are active and passive coolers. Passive cooler is called the usual radiator. Such a cooler consumes the minimum of electricity, it is very cheap and practically no noise. An active cooler is called a radiator with a fan fixed on it or one that highlights the cold (Peltier chips).

Active air coolers received the greatest distribution. Such a cooler is an active air cooler and consists of a metal radiator with a fan fixed on it. Modern coolers are distinguished by large dimensions and weight. Thanks to the use of coolers, computers have relatively small sizes. The disadvantage of coolers is an additional acoustic noise, which they publish during work.

The fan runs large volumes of air through the ribs of the radiator and this ensures the normal thermal processor mode. To determine the direction of the air flow, there is no need to connect the cooler to the power supply. The blades of the impeller will be slightly concave from the side where the air flow yield. Sometimes the cooler body is marked with arrows indicating the rotation of the impeller and the direction of air flow. As in any mechanical device, driving details of the cooler (rolling bearings, slip) in time you need to lubricate with machine oil. It is prohibited to use vegetable oils (olive, sunflower, etc.) as lubrication. After a while, such an oil dries out, and even disassemble the cooler will be impossible.

You will learn about the insufficient amount of lubricant by gradually increasing acoustic noise from the cooler. If this prevention does not do this, then the bearings are intensively wearing, and it will be necessary to install a new cooler.

Consider the main components of the cooler

The radiator distributes the heat of the cooled object (processor) into the environment. Therefore, it should have direct physical contact with a cooled object. For the heat transfer process from the processor to the radiator, the contact area should be as much as possible. The side of the radiator adjacent to the processor is called the sole (base). From the kernel heat goes to the base, then distributed over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe radiator and dissipates.

Different materials are used for making radiators of coolers.

Aluminum has good thermal characteristics, light weight and relatively cheap.
Copper is much better than aluminum carries out heat , but it is more expensive and has a lot of weight (such models weigh about 1 kg).
Some radiators make combining copper and aluminum plates.

Fans are divided into two types: radial and axial

Axial fans are most common due to small sizes and good performance / noise indicators. Axial fan is a conventional fan with a propeller. The air flow in it is directed along the axis of rotation.

In radial fans (blobrels), the air flow is directed at an angle of 90 degrees to the axis of the motor. In radial fans, the drums (impeller) are spinning instead of propeller with blades. This type of fans requires more power motors. Therefore, the boblors are more in size and more expensive. But radial fans have their advantages. The air flow in them has a greater speed, less turbulence and more evenly.

Fans are still classified by the method of connecting, the structures and size design.

In the marking of the fan there is information about bearings:

Sleeve - Slip Bearing.

Slip bearing are simply a pillow of oil and sliding materials. These bearings are rapidly wear out. The only dignity is low cost.

Ball - rolling bearing.

Ball bearings (ball) are more reliable, durable, and therefore mainly they are used for modern coolers. These are bearings consisting of two radial rings, between which small balls are located.

The most common dimensions of the fans are: 60x60x25, 50x50x10, 45x45x10.

Fans, by the connection method, are divided into SMART (connection via Molex Connector) and conventional (connection via a PC-Plug Connector).

An important fan parameter is the level of noise produced. In the documentation for the cooler it is defined. For normal operation, such noise should not be above 25 dB.

Another important fan characteristic is power consumption. It is usually 0.8 -1.6 W.

The frequency of rotation of the blades is also an important parameter. This parameter shows the number of revolutions per minute (rpm). The greater this parameter, the more air is distilled in a minute, but noise is more produced. The documentation indicates the amount of air distilled in a minute (CFM). For the power supply of all computer fans, a permanent current is used.

Installation of a cooler on the processor

The installation process of the cooler on the processor is very simple, if everyone should do neatly and without a rush. Install the cooler on the processor is preferably before installing the motherboard in the case. And for additional convenience and safety, it is recommended to install a cooler on the box of suitable sizes, for example, from the motherboard. If you have a purchasing processor in the box (box version with a cooler), then looking at the sole of the cooler, you will see a thin layer of special material - thermal interface. It is installed by the cooler manufacturer.

When buying a cooler separately from the processor, you need to buy a thermalcolon (KTT-8, Alcal). One tube pasta is enough for several settings of the cooler.

Consider installing a cooler for a socket 754, 939, AM2

Turn the cooler and see if the thermal interface is applied by the manufacturer. If there is, you can go to 3 points. If you have a cooler without a thermal interface and with a protective film, then it is necessary to remove it.

Take the thermal paste. Carefully squeeze the paste to distribute it with a uniform layer throughout the processor's contact site. Consider the fact that when the cooler is installed, the paste of pressure will smear over the entire surface, and therefore there is no need to apply it with a thick layer. So that the cooler can feel more closely to the processor contact site, apply a thermal path with a very thin layer. The thick layer will worsen the heat dissipation (paste the thermal conductivity is worse than the metal).

Chunk plastic evenly distribute the paste throughout the surface. If a little falls on the edges or for them, then it is not scary.

Carefully install the cooler in the processor socket. It is necessary to install without distortion and shifts. When you put the cooler on the crystal - do not remove and do not tilt it, do not push and do not rotate. The removal and movement of the cooler on the smeared pasta crystal can cause the appearance of non-filled pubes. In the future, this can lead to system instability and local overheating. If you decide to remove the cooler after installation, you will definitely dispense the paste on the crystal anew.

When you install the cooler on the processor, then you need to fix it.

First, hook a bracket for a protrusion of a socket from the edge where there is no plastic lever. After you do this action from the edge where the lever is located.

Turn the lever and lock it.
Look so that there is no distortion, and check the fastening reliability. If so, discover, then open the cooler fastening lever and remove the skew. After that, fasten the cooler again.
Connect the cooler power connector to the power socket on the motherboard. Such a jack is usually denoted by CPU_FAN. To operate the cooler, it is necessary to submit a DC voltage of 12V on its windings.

In addition, there are other options for fixing the cooler.

Cutting coolers

To install such coolers, you need to insert each leg into the appropriate hole on the motherboard and press the characteristic click.

When the head turns the legs counterclockwise on the ninety degrees, the spring is unlocked, and the cooler is easily removed.

Screw mount coolers

In Intel coolers, there is a problem of high load applied to four attachment points to the motherboard. Some manufacturers use a special fastener plate, fixed on the back of the motherboard for the load distribution. In this case, the coolers have to be installed using screws.

Such coolers can only be installed until the board is fixed in the housing, since the fastener plate is installed on the back of the motherboard. The plate must be installed in the right side, and then you can navigate the contacts.

An example of the installation of a cooler to the processor:

Selection of cooler

According to the functional purpose, the coolers do not differ, their difference consists only in performance and method of fastening to the radiator. The performance of the cooler directly depends on the speed of rotation and the diameter of the impeller. The speed of rotation of all coolers differs little and is equal to about 5000 rpm. Therefore, if you choose a cooler for replacement, you can only focus on the diameter of the impeller. It should be the same or more.

Processors of different production are heated differently. For example, products from AMD will warm up the products from Intel. Therefore, the stronger the processor is heated, the more powerful the cooler is required for its cooling.

The main mass of processors is quite enough to the cooler supplied in the kit. In some cases, for example, if the processor has failed or was purchased without a fan, you will have to choose a cooler separately.

We highlight the basic requirements of which the cooler for the processor should be:

low thermal resistance and ensuring sufficient cooling.
good cooler compatibility. It should be put on as many types of processors as possible.
good cooler mount. It should be easily put and easy to remove.
must ensure sufficient cooling cache chips.
must be wear-resistant.
when working should not be made any vibration.
large coolers should be placed on all famous motherboards.

In any case, a good cooler is one that copes well with the cooling of the processor. The most famous are the following coolers: Aavid, Zalman, Elanvital, AVC, Tennmax.

Coolers for processors

Consider popular CPUs compatible with modern sockets.

Akasa Venom Voodoo.

Two fans are added to Venom Voodoo. You can control their speed using the PWM splitter through the motherboard connector. The set of supply of the cooler allows you to install and on earlier platforms. A grid is located at the top of the Venom Voodoo cooler. It does not affect cooling, and is made simply taking into account the design.

Arctic Cooling Freezer i30

The AC company operates in the market of inexpensive equipment and supports only a few interfaces, which makes it possible to keep an acceptable price. Includes two fasteners for LGA 2011 and LGA 1155/1156 sockets. There is also an additional fastening kit that allows you to fasten the top bracket directly to the LGA 2011 interface.

Arctic Cooling Freezer i30

To reduce the cost, only four thermal tubes with one fan located on a large cooling radiator are used in this model. Thermal tubes are installed close to each other to increase the area of \u200b\u200bcontact and reduce gaps.

The installation kit of this model is very simple and does not support LGA 1366, only for LGA 2011 and LGA 1155/1156 sockets.

Before installing the two transition brackets of the Freezer I30 cooler set, metal gaskets are installed on the LGA 2011 Socket LGA support plate for bolts. On the Crusades, you need to fasten the transition bar using two short screws.

When installing, first in the support plate, you need to screw the support bolts, and install the Crosses of the installation brackets and hold on top of nuts. The factory bracket is screwed to the cross brackets from the set.

The fan must be installed between two radiators and connect the power to the board.

Installing the radiator on the motherboard

Corsair A70.

In this cooler, two fans is created by the "Tanya-Pull" system. Corsair has added a splitter to connect them to one power connector on the board. Fans do not support PWM adjustment (PWM) and speed control is carried out through the firmware.

The Corsair A70 radiator on one side has a concave form to improve air output from the center. Thermal tubes are separated by a layer of aluminum, from which the basis is made.

When installing for AMD interfaces, a snatching bracket is used. In this cooler, the fastener screws are screwed from the inside of the base A70. The reference panel and the cooler bracket are pulled by nuts and screws.

aMD interface

To complete the installation, you must install the fans and connect the power.

ENERMAX ETS-T40

The aluminum strip on the fan has been added to ETS-T40. This is an advantage among coolers with equal performance.

The installation kit is designed for AMD and Intel platforms. A set of bolts does not require the presence of a support plank of the LGA 2011 socket. The radiator roam support the "pull-push" system of two fans, for this there is a second set of clamps. The foundation of ETS-T40 is made using direct contact technology.

GELID GX-7

GX-7 supports two fans. Intel, AMD, AMD interfaces are supported by AMD. You can choose the direction of the air flow by turning the GX-7 cooler 90 °.

The concave shape of the face of the cooler creates the direction of air to the radiator center. The blades of the fan are highlighted by LEDs, although the frame itself is not transparent.

Mount for Gelid GX-7

To ensure optimal contact with the processor, the base was made in the form of a matte, thoroughly processed, copper block.

To ensure the support of two fans, the central part of the radiator was reduced, which reduced the cooled surface. I had to add the fifth heat pipe.

Silenx EFZ-120HA5

Silenx provides collectors in the most quiet cooling. The installation set provides support for AMD AM2 / 3 and Intel LGA sockets. The second set of screws allows you to install a bracket for LGA 1366 on the built-in LGA 2011 reference bar.

The presence in the EFZ-120HA5 set of installation rubber pads makes it possible to assemble the configuration of "pull-push" using two fans. But the kit comes only one fan having a diameter of 120 mm. Three heat pipes are located V-figuratively, which is necessary to remove more air through the radiator center.

Radiator for Silenx EFZ-120HA5

The Silenx setup set contains a bracket suitable for all popular sockets (from AMD Socket 939 to AM3 +, from LGA 775 to 2011), a basic bar supporting most common interfaces (except LGA 2011), set of installation screws for LGA 2011.

Cooling the central processor is a fundamental factor in the performance and speed of the computer. Whatever powerful processor you have stood, with bad cooling system will slow down, issue errors and spontaneously reboot (off). Earlier, the processors did not provide a special controller, which, when a certain verge of temperature, gave a reboot command or shutdown, which subsequently led to a breakdown, without the possibility of repair.

And at least now such controllers are embedded, the increased temperature of the processor can significantly affect the functionality and not to issue the stated characteristics. That is why high quality installation of a cooler on the processor very important.

There are two types of cooling: active, passive.

The passive is the installation of only the radiator, which is energy efficiently, but has less high-quality characteristics, compared with active.
The actively applies the installation of the radiator to which the fan is fixed. Also, the active are the radiators that independently distinguish the cold, the so-called Peltier chips.

The most popular cooling system is a radiator with a cooler. This system provides quite maximum efficiency and is relatively inexpensive. The only defect can not be noted. It's no secret that the fan produces not only the cold, but also the noise is quite loud, the same goes and the computer fan. But, running the cold air in the radiator slots, there is a constant cooling, which is necessary for the processor. Also, when an abundant noise appears, it is always recommended to lubricate the fan rotor with machine oil. In no case do not use vegetable oil for lubrication, because after drying it, the fan will stop working, and the subsequent analysis may be impossible

The structure of the cooler and the main components

As already mentioned, the main task of the cooler is the distribution of heat that highlights the processor, thereby cooling the component. For this, the flat side of the radiator, which is called the sole, is tightly fixed to the processor. All heat that is allocated to the processor falls on the base of the radiator and diverges through the entire body.

Aluminum, copper and combined alloys from copper and aluminum are used as a material for the manufacture of the radiator. It is worth noting that the copper cooler provides the most, but its cost is quite high, and the mass can be up to one kilogram.

For the greatest effect, the fan is fixed to the top of the radiator. They are axial or radial.

Axial fans are usual, with a propeller of the air flow of which is directed along the axis of rotation. In the radial coolers, the air flow is directed perpendicularly. It consists of several impellers. This type of fans is much larger in size, and also consumes significantly more energy, but the quality of cooling is much better, compared to axial.

Installing Coolers for AMD Processors

The process of installing the cooler is quite simple, but requires care and a hurry in this process will be anything. To place a cooler on the processor, follow these steps:

If you purchased a new cooler, most likely, a thermal paste is placed on the radiator sole. In this case, you can move to clause 3, but if the thermal paste is not applied, it must be placed;
issimate some thermal paste on the fixed processor (as a rule, this paste is placed in the syringes). The abundant layer of this material will not lead to a greater effect, and may also harm, because the cooler in this case will be placed away from the processor. Distribute it all over the area;

Apply the thermal chaser for the processor

Installing a cooler on Intel processors

On the principle of fixing the cooler, it does not differ from the installation on the AMD crystal. The only difference is the fastening itself. It consists of four pins, which are inserted into special grooves and when turning 90 degrees is made a dense fix.

Pin is taken to the groove

Many experts argue that such a mount is not reliable and recommended to use a screw mount, which can be separately purchased or supplied directly with the cooler. In this case, a special plate is placed on the back side. Next, a lining of four plates placed on the cooler are made and then it is necessary to twist the bolts and a full-fledged fixation.

Selection of cooler

The coolers differ only only by the method of fastening, as well as cooling efficiency. The more productive processor, the more powerful cooler needs to be purchased.

If you decide to purchase a fan, try to choose more slow to reduce the noise, as well as identical sizes so that it can be tightly fixed.

It's no secret that when the computer is working, all its electronic components are heated. Some elements are warm very noticeable. The processor, video card, northern and southern Motherboard bridges are the worst elements of the system unit. Overheating is generally dangerous and leads to an emergency disconnection of the computer.

Therefore, the main problem of the entire electronic part of the computing equipment is the correct cooling and effective heat removal. The overwhelming majority of computers, both industrial and homely, for heat removal is appliedaerial cooling. She received his popularity at the expense of its simplicity and low cost. The principle of this type of cooling is as follows. All heat from heated elements is given to the surrounding air, and hot air in turn with the help of fans from the system block housing. To increase heat transfer and cooling efficiency, the most heated components are supplied with copper or aluminum radiators with fans installed on them.

But the fact that heat removal occurs due to the movement of the air, does not at all mean that the more fans are installed, the better the cooling in general. Several incorrectly installed fans can harm much more, and not solve the overheating problem, when one competently installed fan will solve this problem very effectively.

Selection of additional fans.

Before buying and installing additional fans carefully read your computer. Open the enclosure cover, count and find out the size of the installation places for additional cabinet coolers. Look carefully on the motherboard - which connectors for connecting additional fans are available on it.

Fans need to choose the largest size that will suit you. Standard enclosures are 80x80mm size. But quite often (especially lately) in the housing you can install fans with a size of 92x92 and 120x120 mm. With the same electrical characteristics, a large fan will work much quieter.

Try to buy fans with lots of blades - they are also quieter. Pay attention to the stickers - the noise level is specified. If the motherboard has 4 pin connectors for food coolers, then buy four-wire fans. They are very quiet, and the range of automatic revolutions is quite wide.

Between fans receiving power from the power supply throughmolex connector And working from the motherboard unequivocally choose the second option.

There are fans on sale on real ball bearings - this is the best option in terms of durability.

Installing additional fans.

Let's consider the main points of the correct installation of body fans for most system blocks. Here we give advice for standard buildings, since the non-standard location of the fans is so diverse that it does not make sense to describe them - everything is individually. Moreover, non-standard enclosures of fans can reach 30cm in diameter.

There are no additional fans in the housing.

This is a standard layout for almost all computers sold in stores. All hot air rises into the top of the computer and at the expense of the fan in the power supply, it turns out.

A large disadvantage of this type of cooling is that all the heated air passes through the power supply, heating at the same time it is even stronger. And therefore, it is the power supply that such computers breaks most often. Also, all cold air is absorbed not controlled, but from all the enclosures, which only reduces the effectiveness of heat exchange. Another disadvantage is the affixiness of air obtained with such a type of cooling, which leads to the accumulation of dust inside the case. But still, it is in any case better than the wrong installation of additional fans.

One fan on the back of the housing.

This method is applied more from hopelessness, as there is only one place in the case to install an additional cooler - on the rear wall under the power supply. In order to reduce the amount of hot air passing through the power supply, one fan is installed on the "blowing" from the housing.

Most of the heated air from the motherboard, processor, video cards, rigid disks go through an additional fan. And the power supply at the same time is heated significantly less. Also, the total flow of moving air increases. But the affliction increases, so the dust will accumulate even stronger.

Additional frontal fan in the case.

When the case has only one seat on the front of the case, or there is no possibility of incorporating two fans at once (it's nowhere to connect), then this is the most perfect option for you. It is necessary to put one fan on the front part of the housing on the "blowing".

The fan must be installed opposite the hard drives. And it will be more correct to write that the hard drives must be installed opposite the fan. So the cold incoming air will immediately blow them. This installation is much more effective than the previous one. A directional air flow is created. The vacuum is reduced inside the computer - the dust is not delayed. When feeding additional coolers from the motherboard, the overall noise is reduced, as the fan turns are reduced.

Installing two fans into the case.

The most efficient method of installing fans for additional cooling of the system unit. On the front wall of the case, a fan is installed on "blowing", and on the back wall - to "blow out":

A powerful permanent air and directional flow is created. The power supply works without overheating, as the heated air is outputting the fan installed below it. If the power supply is installed with adjustable fan rotation turnover, the general noise will noticeably decrease, and that more importantly, the pressure inside the housing is aligned. Dust will not settle.

Incorrect installation of fans.

Below, we give examples of the unacceptable installation of additional coolers in the PC housing.

One rear fan is installed on "blowing".

A closed air ring is created between the power supply and the additional fan. Part of the hot air from the power supply is immediately absorbed back inside. In this case, at the bottom of the system unit of the air, there is no air, and therefore the cooling is inefficient.

One front fan is set to "blowing out".

If you put only one front cooler, and it will work on blowing, then in the end you get a very discharged pressure inside the case, and ineffective cooling of the computer. Moreover, due to reduced pressure, the fans themselves will be overloaded, since they will have to overcome the opposite pressure of the air. Computer components will be heated, which leads to increased noise of operation, since the speed of rotation of the fans will increase.

Rear fan on "blowing", and frontal - to "blowing out".

Aerial short circuit between the power supply and the rear fan is created. Air in the area of \u200b\u200bthe central processor works in a circle.

The front fan is trying against the natural convection lift "omit" hot air, working under an increased load and creating a vacuum vacuum.

Two extra coolers stand on "blowing".

A thermal short circuit is created in the top of the case.

At the same time, the effect of incoming cold air is felt only for the hard drives, as it falls on the oncoming flow from the rear fan. Excessive pressure is created inside the housing, which complicates the operation of additional fans.

Two additional coolers work on "blowing out".

The hardest mode of operation of the cooling system.

Inside the housing, low air pressure, all body fans and inside the power supply are under refund pressure. There is no sufficient air movement inside the air, and, therefore, all components work overheating.

Here in principle, and all the highlights that will help you in organizing the right ventilation system of your personal computer. If there is a special plastic corrugation on the side cover of the case - use it to supply cold air to the central processor. All other installation issues are solved depending on the structure of the hull.

Errors lie on every step

Good afternoon, respected technoblog subscribers. Today I want to tell how to correct the cooler on the processor. It would seem that there would be something to think: you take the turntable, fasten into the appropriate grooves on the motherboard, stick the 4-pin connector, you run - you enjoy. But walked there, the mistakes wave unlucky users at every step and now I will explain why.

The most frequent errors when buying and installing:

banal ignorance of the processor socket (775, 1151, 1155, AM3, AM4, etc.);
ignorance of the heat pump chip;
saving money for good cooling;
buying a dubious cooler with hands without checking the configuration;
forgot to substitute the reinforcement plate on the back of the MP;
applying too thin (thick) layer thermal paste;
too big height of the tower (the side wall does not close);
too wide radiator, closing slots for RAM;
cryruction (no comment).

What is the cooling system

If we speak in a simple language and not go into details of different degrees of specifics, then the cooler of the processor, whether it is an armor for Intel or AMD, always consists of 2 elements:

radiator;
fan.

And then more interesting. Radiators can be both classic (aluminum bar with fins, sometimes with a copper stain contact to the processor) and the tower (impressive shape aluminum design, often penetrated with copper heat pipes, as well as with the direct contact of these most tubes with a processor or a mediator from copper ).
There are also radiators oriented under their own, but they are completely attached to another place.

Classic are designed for office builds, because there are little different from box coolers (which are supplied in the box with a processor). They are able to dispel to 95 W heat and are not designed to accelerate the chip, even if you strongly want. Even if the board has a good nutrition subsystem.

The tower already allow you to dispel from 130 to 250 W heat, depending on the model. Take for example the bestseller of past years - Zalman CNPS10X Performa (or Optima) and its 150 W performance thanks to a branded turntable with "shark fins" and the successful design of the radiator.

Do not know which turntable you need? Google characteristics of your stone and recognize its heat pump.

The installation process of the Cooling Boxing System

Tightened a little with the preface, but for many this fact should become a useful material for thought. Now proceed to the installation process itself and begin with boxer bottles.

If you have a system on an Intel chip, starting with a 775 socket and higher, then it's easier to nowhere. First, stock fents that lie in a box with a chip, already blurred thermocons, and therefore it is not necessary to apply it. But if you really want, you can look here and read about that.

Then everything is simple: install Carlson according to 4 holes and insert 4 plastic latches in them. Everything is ready - you are amazing.
Now let's talk about AMD and their latches, which, by the way, and look much more reliable, and hold as Soviet spies. There is a plastic square insert with two "tongues" around the processor socket, for which the radiator of the Blood turntable is cling.

You only need to throw the ear in one eye, and then do the same with the second, in parallel fixing Carlson in a certain position by a special limiter. This design then your teeth will not tear off.

Installation of custom cooler

And now we will deal with a more complex case - the tower. Immediately I will say that the thermal paste layer is also applied to such models, but often its quality leaves much to be desired, and therefore wipe the factory and thin layer we appline a new layer on the surface of the crystal. How to do it right -.

But before starting, it is necessary to do what everyone needs probability about the lion's share - read the instructions! She lies in the box if that. Tower models in the overwhelming majority of cases are universal in the attachment plan. They have written a list of suitable sockets that I I advise you to read before buying, so that it is not like last time.

Now we separate the plates of AMD from parts under Intel and unnecessary fold back to the box. From the radiator, a fan is removed, which only interferes when installing, after which the place for installation and fasten the rear plate - the bochplate, to which the cooler is attached on the screws (not in all models, but still).

The main thing is to clearly get into the holes under the bolts so that there is no skew. Screw the radiator is needed strictly crosswise (first the first bolt, then the next diagonal is diagonally and so all 4).
The whole process is carried out on the table, while the motherboard also lies on the table outside the housing on a complete dielectric film, or a box that does not miss the static current. Otherwise will be very uncomfortable.

Check the mounting system, with the help of a bracket, lock the turntable, connect the last connector on the CPU and check the performance of your works. Works - already good.

The pasta should be changed at no less than once a year, although in more detail about this already in.

Instruction

The main bake in the system system creates a power supply, a video card, processor and mother chipsets. It is these details that need to be blown first. Hot hard drives can be colded by special systems, Radiators - radiators. The correct organization of the fans should direct the air so that it passes through the housing past the main sources of heat.

The location of additional fans and their dimensions depend on the perforation of the housing. Often there are system blocks that have solid covers on top and sides. In such designs, the inlet coolers will be correct (or below, if the front panel is solid), and the power supply is configured to blow up. You can close an extra blowing fan in the back. If a cooler tower is standing on the processor, it should push heat into the weekend.

If in the system unit there is a side perforation opposite the processor and the video card, then the side fans will turn over. The rear, processor and front coolers are put as in the previous embodiment. Pay attention to the ratio of fan performance on blowing and blowing - according to statistics, below the temperature inside the PC, where an equal or large total cooler power is operating on blowing. If there are little coolers, the air must help themselves. Positive pressure can cool only in the presence of powerful and large, located very close to hot iron glands and good perforation of the body parts.

Top coolers put on blowing if the power supply is on top. If it is from the bottom, they must be injected with air, and from the bottom and rear will have to set more unfolded fans.

Hard drives have an unpleasant feature during operation to overheat, which significantly reduces their life term. Usually helps buying a good case for PCs and additional fans. However, there is another method that extends the service life of HDD by reducing its temperature in operation. This method is the installation of special cooling on the hard drive itself. So that the installation operation has passed successfully, you need to follow some rules.

Instruction

When choosing cooling on the hard drive, you must see if the HDD will fit into the fastening rack after installing an additional device on it. It is better to take cooling with a pair of fans - they provide both arrival and air output from the space near the Winchester, so they cope with the task much better. You still need to see if there are unoccupied Molex connectors in the system to which cooling will be connected. If there are no, you should be stocking adapter.

By purchasing cooling, you can start the installation. First, turn off the computer and pull out the power. To access the Winchestera, you will have to unscrew the bolts from the side covers and remove them. Then remove the HDD. To do this, unscrew the bolts that hold the hard drive on the rack, depart the power cable and SATA, then pull out the salad disk. The extracted device must be put on the front side (the one that is completely closed with a metal housing) down. From the controller side, press the cooling device to the Winchesteer so that its holes for the bolts coincide with the disk holes, and then screw the fan to the HDD.

Winchester with a fan slide back into the sled, picker the extracted SATA and MOLEX back to the disk, and attach the fan to the power connector. After that, you can turn on the computer and work, being calm for your hard drive.

To avoid damage to certain devices in the computer, you must sometimes monitor their temperature. Usually, special programs are used to read sensor readings.

You will need

- Speccy.

Instruction

Most often, temperature sensors are installed on the following devices: video card, central processor and hard drives. The first two equipment, as a rule, possess their own cooling system. Coolers are extremely rarely attached to the hard disk. Install the Speccy program. Restart the computer and run it.

Open the Hard Disc menu and find the temperature sensor readings. If the temperature of this device does not rise above 50 degrees Celsius, there is no reasons for concern. If under certain conditions, the temperature exceeds this indicator, then provide additional cooling to the hard disk.

First, try simply removing the walls of the system unit. Quite often this is quite enough. If your hard drive is still strong, then install an additional cooler in the system unit. It is better to fix the new fan so that it blows the hard drive.

Select the location to which you will clipped the additional fan. Find on the motherboard connectors for connecting the cooler power. Be sure to look at the number lived in this connector. Check the fan that you can install the inside of the system unit. Naturally, pay attention to power connection options for this device.

Attach the new cooler to the system unit housing. Usually, special screws are used for this, but in some situations you can use glue. Connect power to a new device. Naturally, all operations must be carried out with a computer turned off.

Turn on the PC and make sure that the fan blades are spinning stably. Run the Speccy utility and see the hard disk. If it is still above the norm, then this equipment will soon fail.

When working with a PC, eternal hangs and brakes of the system are annoying. At the same time, the pace of operation of the OS can slow down indecently. The reasons for this behavior of the Iron Assistant may be different, but they need to get rid of them.

Instruction

First, take care of the health of iron, because the unusual behavior of the PC can be caused by overheating. Remove the lids with the sidewalls of the systemist and clean everything from the inside with a brush. Special attention should be paid to fans and radiators that are systematically clogged with dust.

Cooling from the processor you need to remove, smear the planting area of \u200b\u200bthe chip of the thermal stroke, and then put the fan and collect. Set the program measuring the temperature in the case, for example, AIDA64 or Everest. Run the PC and if the test shows that the general cleaning did not help, buy additional cooling or more spacious case.

Often brakes are born due to the fact that PC power is not enough for new programs. It is necessary to compare the readings specified in the system properties with the requirements of software. It is probably worth putting more RAM or replace the processor to a more productive. Warves can go and because of the video card if you work with graphics or play new video games. In the event that many details have to change, it may be advantageous to buy a new PC with modern architecture.

The reason for slowing down the work is also scored to the limit of the system disk. Rate the size of the free space, delete or move part of the files if the places remained little and run defragmentation.

Take care also about the operating system itself. Windows is recommended to re-install at least once every three years. If the system is new, but works with failures, you should delete all unused software, clean the startup and registry with special utilities or manually. Do not ignore - malware can also interfere with the PC function normally.

Connection tV The personal computer is carried out using specially provided interfaces. Depending on the availability of connectors on devices, you can also use adapters.
