System Cooling Fact Sheet 2.9.2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does the normal operation of computer components produce? | Heat |
| True or false, as components get smaller and the operating frequencies increase, so does the amount of heat generated by each component? | True |
| What might overheated components cause? | Intermittent errors |
| What will eventually happen with consistently-high temperatures? | Components fail |
| What is name of the component located on the circuit board underneath the processor, that monitors temperature? | Processor heat sensor |
| What is name of the component located somewhere inside the system, either on the motherboard or on a cable attached to the motherboard and used to monitor temperature? | System case heat sensor |
| What is name of the component usually connected to the motherboard by a cable and mounted on a case slot and used to monitor ambient temperature? | Room temperature heat sensor |
| True or false, special software can monitor the temperature levels and be configured to send warnings when high temperature conditions exist? | True |
| True or false, The computer case is actually a pressurized system with a carefully-designed path for air to flow? | True |
| Which type of cooling system creates airflow by either blowing or sucking airflow across the motherboard and components? | Intake fans |
| Which type of cooling system pulls warm air from inside the system? | Outtake fans |
| On many systems, which cooling component performs either intake or outtake functions? | Power supply fan |
| True or false, the system case covers as well as expansion card covers must be on to ensure sufficient cooling. Otherwise, airflow and pressure will be negatively affected? | True |
| True or false, dust and debris must be kept to a minimum inside the case? | True |
| Fans are also used in conjunction with which component to improve cooling? | Heat sinks |
| Hard drive coolers are often a set of which type of component that attach to hard drives? | Fans |
| What type of device attach to components, increasing the surface area exposed to the air, essentially pulling heat from the components? | Heat sinks |
| Cooling can also be increased by adding which type of component to the top of the heat sink to pull heat away from the heat sink? | Fan |
| All new processors require which type of components? | Heat sink and fan |
| All new processors require a heat sink and fan. In addition, what should be used between the processor and the heatsink to improve heat transfer? | Thermal pad or thermal grease |
| Processors, video card chipset, motherboard chipset,and Memory are common components that benefit from which type of cooling component? | Heat sinks |
| Which type of cooling component make contact with the memory chips to dissipate heat? | Heat spreaders |
| True or false, Faster, high-performance memory often requires heat spreaders? | True |
| Older internal IDE and SCSI cables are flat and can restrict the airflow inside the case. To maximize cooling, keep cables organized and consider using which component to maximize airflow? | Rounded cables |
| For high-performance and gaming systems, you can install which type of cooling system to improve cooling of devices such as the processor, chipset, and hard drives? | Liquid |
| The liquid cooling system replaces which components with a device that circulates a liquid coolant, much like a car's radiator? | Heat sink and fan |
| The outside air temperature should range roughly between how many degrees fahrenheit? | 45º and 90º |
| True or false, maintaining a low room temperature ensures that heat generated by computers is dissipated, and also provides cool air that can be pulled into the system for cooling? | True |
| True or false, To maintain proper air flow, keep any air intake or outlets free from obstructions? | True |
| True or false, proper ventilation might mean ensuring that nothing is close to the fans and vents on computers, laptops, monitors, and other devices? | True |
| Issues related to insufficient cooling are typically which type of problems that are difficult to identify? | Random errors or system lockups |
| Which tool can you use to troubleshoot cooling problems? | Freeze spray |
| True or false, if a system is starting to fail due to overheating, spraying it with freeze spray reduces the temperature and could restore it to normal functionality? | True |
| If the problem goes away after spraying a suspected component with freeze spray, what should you implement? | Additional cooling solutions for that component |
