Keeping your computers cool is a major part of ensuring that you get their full useful life out of them. Computers that run warm are more likely to shut down unexpectedly, while overheated computers can experience premature CPU or power supply failure. Given that today's business computers and applications are good enough to keep around for a while, investing in additional cooling fans now can help to reduce your company's information technology budget over the long term.
Open the computer's main cover. While the procedure varies depending on your case, the main cover is usually either a U-shaped panel that covers both sides and the top or a single side panel, and is usually held in place by a screw or a thumbscrew. If you want to take it a step further -- and this is very beneficial -- you could use a top-mounted fan near the rear of the case above the CPU and core components to get rid of that heat even faster.
It is always our recommendation that you buy cases with a minimum of 3 fans or at least slots for adding them yourself for gaming systems, not counting the power supply, CPU, and GPU fans.
I know we say this about a lot of things especially power supplies , but you really don't want to skimp on cooling.
Speaking plainly, anything that has the power to destroy your hard work and components should be optimized to, you know, not do that. This applies primarily to cooling and power, though it is arguably applicable to almost any component. If you have an old case that you want to adapt to modern systems, it is very do-able and quite easy to use a holesaw and drill out new fan bays in the top or side of your case, then use a standard drill bit to screw mounting holes.
I'll do a guide on this as well. This sort of falls under case modding. If you don't yet have a case and you're shopping around for one with optimum cooling placement, just look for the following features:. You can't be too picky here, but you need the bare minimum to be certain it will suit your gaming needs:. If the case does not come with more than one or two fans included, be sure to check and see if it has optional slots -- you can always install them yourself with four simple screws.
These will likely be almost entirely mm fans. Here's where you get a huge variety of nice cases, so we can be a bit more demanding. Remember, these are the recommended minimum specs for this range, these are by no means absolute requirements:. As always, comment below or post on our forums for additional support.
Our next article publishing tomorrow will focus on the amount of air fans can push CFM , their noise level, and the RPMs. We'll play around with silencing those loud ones, too. Steve started GamersNexus back when it was just a cool name, and now it's grown into an expansive website with an overwhelming amount of features. He recalls his first difficult decision with GN's direction: "I didn't know whether or not I wanted 'Gamers' to have a possessive apostrophe -- I mean, grammatically it should, but I didn't like it in the name.
