Cooling Archive

When it comes to your systems performance, nothing is more important than your cooling system. Historically, beefy cooling systems were more important for individuals who wanted to overclock their computers. Today, they’re useful for anyone with a modern machine. Why is that? It all has to do with turbo mode. Let’s say that you have a latest generation I-series processor that runs at 4Ghz. You’ll …

Where PC performance is concerned, there are very few things that are as important as cooling. Modern machines leverage throttling to keep components cool. When they get too warm, they’re automatically slowed down. For you, this means that just when your game starts to heat up, you can experience unnecessary lag. Installing a proper cooling system is an important part of keeping your computer running …

Maybe you’ve just built your dream PC, or perhaps you’re just trying to squeeze a little more performance out of an aging system. Having quality hardware is important, but keeping it cool is even more important. In the past, high end cooling systems were used primarily by CPU overclockers. Today, many cooling systems still follow the same principal. You’ve got a fan on top of …

It’s no secret that computers and electronics tend to heat-up over time, especially when placed in environments that aren’t always ideal. Often times, placing a router, modem, printer, computer, AV receiver, game console or any other device within a cabinet or closed space can create a massive amount of stale, warm air with little to no air flow. As you may already know, stagnant air …

Modern CPUs produce plenty of heat, especially when you’re doing computationally intensive tasks. How well you manage that heat will ultimately impact the both the performance of your PC and the lifespan of your processor. Even if you’re only interested in casual use, like browsing the web, having an effective approach to heat management is still in your best interests. And if you’re using a …
