In that spirit and in conjunction with hardware month here at Songwriting Software Express - taking steps to prolong the life and efficiency of your computer's inner workings - like its hard drive - can extend the life of your computer and buy you time before you're faced with having to get a new hard drive or even a new computer. A fairly inexpensive way to do that is simply to better cool you computer. There are a number of ways to accomplish this and we'll look at everything from external fans to a software program that optimizes the functions of the fans your computer already has. So if you're ready to warm up to this subject - read on. |

Keep your cool... and save money...There are number of easy steps you can employ to optimize the cooling of your computer, desktops and laptops, for better performance and longevity of your system. Accordingly, you'll prolong the life of your computer and maybe just make it through to your next upgrade or purchase without having the death of your hard drive or motherboard and or various other components you need to keep your music machine running. Let's walk through the different ways to cool off - and most of them are a breeze to implement. Are You Hot? According to Avtech, a company that designs and markets computer monitoring systems, maintaining an ambient room temperature range of 68° to 75°F (20° to 24°C) is optimal for system reliability. Thankfully, most people can be comfortable themselves at these temperatures. They go on to say that this temperature range makes it easier to maintain a safe relative humidity level as well. Raise The Heat - As In Off The Floor If your computer is sitting on the floor, particularly on a carpeted floor, your computer is lacking one surface to allow air flow to better cool it. Simply raising your computer onto an open type computer stand allows full air flow around the computer and minimizes heat buildup. And it should be noted that carpets tend to accumulate dust and if not vacuumed regularly that's more to clog up your fan grates - again adding to greater heating of your computer. Also, if your computer is in a corner, the further out in the room it is the better the airflow - again reducing heat buildup. Your Fans Free standing fans can help and are readily available just about anywhere. It is recommended though that they don't point at your computer's exhaust grate, where the heat would normally escape, as to not inhibit the computer's normal heat release route. And if you have a laptop you can easily hook up a laptop cooler as they're typically powered by a computer USB port. Your Closest Fans Your computer comes with an internal fan of course and with desktops there is the possibility to add more. However, this tends to be a much more involved process and has to be done on a case by case basis - literally - as it depends on your computer case. Outside help from technical service reps is a good idea here. Fan Control Via Software And to really fine tune your cooling efforts you can download and install a fan control system that works off of temperature sensors in your computer (newer models) to optimize your internal fans function. A notable program here, and it's free, is Speed Fan, and you can find out more and the get the download here. Turn It Off And finally, to totally kill your heating problems at least temporarily - turn off your computer when you're done using it. |
