Tips to Reduce the temperature of the Mainboard & CPU

PC Maintenance should include not only software running virus and spyware scans and defragmenting your hard drive. Protect your computer innards are equally important. Protect your computer hardware starting with peace of mind. Too much heat generated from your computer can cause stability problems and damage internal components. Keeping the central processing unit, or CPU, mainboard and cool is very important to preserve and protect the performance of PC hardware.

Desktop Placement
Where your computer is an important role in how to get hot. Keep your computer in a well ventilated area. Avoid putting in a closed area because this will reduce air flow to the computer. Leave enough space behind the PC to allow air out of the back. Also, put your computer in a cooler part of the office or home will help keep the temperature down.

CPU Fan
Shares including the CPU coolers are often not enough to keep this unit cool. If you're running a PC with other high heat generating components, such as graphics cards, the temperature will rise and make the stock CPU cooler is not effective. Replace your CPU cooler with fan and heat sink from another vendor. Make sure that the new CPU cooler will fit with the type of processor socket before you buy.
 
Case Fan
Adding a new component can require additional cooling options. Case fans easy to install and can keep your system cool at low cost. Some computer cases have only a few places where the case fans can be installed. Adding more fans than capable of holding the case will require some modification.
Please note that only add case fans will not guarantee a cooler. Which lies just a little fan will keep the computer more or less cold than many fans are placed.

Airflow
After the smooth flow of air through your computer case needs. Computers need a cold air flow into and effective so that ventilation air can escape the heat. As mentioned earlier, more fans are not always better. Maximize air flow with fans in the front sucking air while the fan hot air out the rear flow.
 
Water Cooling
Water cooling is another method of keeping your computer cool. Cooling block can be attached to components such as CPU, mainboard, hard drives and graphics cards. Water cooling systems can be expensive and require constant maintenance. Although difficult to install and maintain, water cooling can keep the temperature down, especially when overclocking, or push your system to its limits
