TechBits 7 - Computer Cooling Techniques

I this episode of TechBits, I cover all the system cooling and spot cooling methods that can be implemented in a computer. I also outline a few ways in which you can reduce the temperature of your current system.

hey Jeremy, would you say that Asus is a reputable company? and also, I would like to build a mineral oil pc for a school project, and I have a question: you used silicone adhesive around the CPU- was that just to hold the heatsink in place or was that to seal off the CPU so that the thermal grease wouldn't wash away?

@S4lsn1p3d I like asus. The silicone was the hold the heatsink in place, but it didn't work to well. We ended up using the plastic bracket.

you are very smart :) how old are you?

[sciguy14]

@adilsokolovic12 This video is 2 years old. I'm 20 now.

hello, i have a question... is that good idea to buy a new processor to my motherboard which is FoxConn NF4SLI7AA-8EKRS2... it has an Intel Pentium 4 3.00ghz and i want to change it for Intel Pentium D 830 3.00ghz or Intel Pentium D 930 3.00ghz... will that work fine if im going to buy one of them?

P.S srorry for my english

[sciguy14]

@TheKamillo666 Id really recommend a new motherboard and CPU. The pentium Ds run really hot and are not great CPUS.

@laugurinn Be very careful with vacuum cleaners near your computer. They generate a lot of static electricity.

Jeremy, my Network Technology class built the mineral oil PC in late 2005 semester. It ran surprising well.

@adilsokolovic12 I'm dating sciguy14 for sure! :D I have a mad crash on him after seeing his video, but I'm a guy so I'm not sure if it will turn out well.

@phobos001 check the thermal paste between the CPU and Cooler , it might have been dried out and the direct contact between the two is generating heat and very dangerous.

*check case fan,chasis,cpu.

*dust!!

*positioning fans and creating a dynamic air flow (intake-->exhaust) (exhaust<-----intake).

Good Luck!

Wow! Really informative, i learned a lot

[lmafo4utube]

well made videos, u get to the point, explain it well in detail and aren't biased like my people who claim to be tech experts out there who are obviously idoits

[Robo991]

Man, you got some realy nice vids. Keep it up! ;)

I'm on phase change sites where the guys reach cryogenic temperatures. One of the cheapest ideas I've seen, although not very practical, was simply burying a propane tank of water in the garden pumping the water back into the house, using the ground as a heat dump.

@Digiscat how?
