It is important to have your CPU working at its maximum efficiency so you can maximize the performance of all programs running on it. One way to do this is by installing a new cooler, which will keep your computer cool and prevent overheating. Check out our post for more information about when you should install a cooler.
When should I install a CPU Cooler
If the temperature of your CPU is reaching dangerous levels that may affect its stability and lifespan you can use ThrottleStop . Run the program while your PC is idle and under heavy load. If at any point you reach 100 degrees Celsius (which varies depending on the type of processor) shut down immediately as this may cause damage. The average operating temperature for most CPUs is around 30-40 degrees. For those with high end processors expect 60+C as an acceptable range during normal usage. It might be wise not to let your CPU get that hot if you want it to last a long time!There are two types of coolers: air and water (or liquid).
Air coolers
use heat sinks and fans which pull heat away from the processor and expel it.
Water or liquid
Water or liquid-based cooling on the other hand puts the heat transfer system outside of the case where as an air cooled heatsink stays inside, often mounted vertically with one end facing towards the motherboard . A closed loop water cooling system consists of a pump, radiator, tubing, reservoir , and either one or multiple radiators depending on how much power you want to dissipate.
To see if your CPU’s fan is working you can use Real Temp , SpeedFan or CoreTemp . For an overclock try Super Pi .The louder the cooler the better it will be at removing heat, but this can lead to problems with noise pollution in shared living space! If you are dealing with a smaller area like an office then you might want something quiet.
The fastest coolers on our list were only able to lower temperatures by 5-10 degrees Celsius, while larger radiators and systems using more power can drop 15-20C. These radiators offer a much bigger surface area which allows them to dissipate more heat from their metal fins onto cold air. Air coolers often have one heat sink mounted directly on the processor to take away the heat, but water cooling systems will usually have two or more to increase their surface area. Some cases give you a choice of air or liquid cooled solutions which may be a good idea if you want your PC to run quietly.
The temperature of an average CPU will depend on several factors Its speed The number of cores much power it is consuming Add other components into the mix and this range can easily double as these generate extra heat as well as using up some energy from that 75 watts. If your processor gets too hot then expect instability, system crashes and loss of performance from the programs running on top of it.
In short, trying to keep your CPU cool is the obvious way to prevent it from breaking down and also improve its performance. It adds extra stability and will prolong your hardware’s lifespan.
What not to do
Don’t go overboard with overclocking or replacing parts if you don’t need to! If you have a low-end processor then there’s no reason for you to buy an expensive graphics card, water cooler etc – just get something cheap that works. As long as your processor is running under 50C then it should be fine unless you’re planning on doing some serious work such as video editing or working with virtual machines .
