We have to remember that the temperature of the components is directly proportional to the case temperature, (also known as ambient temperature) and higher the case temperature, higher would be the temperature of the internal components like the processor, motherboard, graphics card and hard drive. For example, a ceiling fan in a room with cross ventilation will be able to cool the room faster than the same ceiling fan in a room with little or no ventilation. So the bottom line is, we have to ensure that the case is well ventilated. And that’s exactly what we are going to show you in following article using simple and cost effective methods.
Before we start we would like you to understand these points. A processor when not doing much work is in a 'idle' state. When its doing heavy duty work like encoding a movie or playing a game, it would be in the 'load' state. You can get an idea of how much work the CPU is doing by looking at the 'CPU Usage' graph under 'Windows Task Manager'.
A processor runs at a higher temperature in load state. Generally under ideal conditions the processor idles at 35-45 degrees and goes up to 55-60 degrees under load. Similarly for a graphic card, the card is under load while playing an intensive 3D game like F.E.A.R or Far Cry. Under ideal conditions a graphic card would generally idle at 50-60 degrees and go up to 75-80 under load.
Good try.
