What To Do If Your Computer Is Over Heating

When the computer heats up it is dangerous because it can overheat and you need to buy a new one, which are not always cheap. There are some ways to ensure this does not happen, and lengthen the life of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and other devices inside the computer.


A major reason for computers overheating is the lack of airflow , using a laptop and have it in your leg or arm of the sofa, it's likely that fans of laptops are ultimately not receiving any fresh air into the laptop, since they are covering the ventilation openings. To ensure that this is not the case, place the laptop on a flat surface or on a laptop that has a grid like surface that allows air into the fan to cool the laptop down.


If you have a computer and it shows that the temperature of the CPU or motherboard is increasing, this maybe due to the room temperature becomeing warmer and that hot air is being sucked by the fan and not able to cool the laptop efficiently. Adding more fans would increase the airflow.


When checking the temperature, if you notice that the CPU is much higher than 40-60 ° C between the heat sink this may become a problem, this might be the wrong positioning of the heat sink or heat sink can loosen over time and lose contact with the CPU. In these cases, the best solution is to remove the heatsink and clean the CPU and put some new thermal compound on the CPU heatsink and turn around 180 degrees and put it back on make sure the CPU thermal compound is spread evenly over the top of the CPU .


When the back of the sink in place , safely restart the computer and check the CPU temperature to ensure this is correct, if not, then check if the fan on the heatsink is working properly, and if it is rotating at the correct speed. The new heat sink should only be necessary for the purchase, if there is damage to the original, can be installed in the same way as before.


If the problem persists, check if the thermometer is faulty, but in most cases, it is not, check if the cables which could impede the flow of air to the heat sink or a fan being obstructed .


In order to make sure the computer you are installing takes into account air flow, so when installing hard drives, DVD drives, make sure if possible air can flow between them and prevent overheating. If the units are very hot this increases the temperature and makes it harder to cool the computer.


Looking at the computer flow is almost as important as building a computer, if you do not allow easy flow of air inside the computer from overheating, and the capability to strike off the top. You may need to install more fans to provide air cold enough to reach your computer, but do not forget to install some of extraction fans that suck all the hot air out of the box.


Normally, with most cases, there will be a place in your computer case with a fan to be placed on the back which is usually the best place to install an exhaust fan and install a fan program introduction to the front of the computer case to blow cool air will be in this army of fresh air in the bottom of the cabinet, then the force of hot air to the rear of the case in a continuous cycle that keeps computer running at the ideal temperature.
