When a Bad-Ass Fan Ain’t Enough

August 15, 2011 Advanced Skills, Information No Comments

For your CPU that is, for however high-tech or expensive a CPU cooling fan is dust kills all that dough you put into buying it. That’s a simple truth many forget to remember and they end up with burnt up CPU’s, literally. CPU’s tend to operate at a high temperature and can handle a maximum of around the boiling point of water or 100 Degrees Centigrade. More than that and components start to fry and eventually fail.

Though you wouldn’t see burnt CPU’s everyday, a component running hotter than usual can lead to mysterious pc crashes and problems such as intermittent errors that you could not diagnose. Take a peek inside of your casing and check from time to time to ensure you have a clean fan and cooling fins. Blow using dusters to clean them out(after you open the case and take it outside of course), refraining from using brushes that everybody uses for it can cause static damage.
