Cooling hardware
(Continuation)

Usually cooling arrangements consist of two parts — the heat sink and the fan, components together an efficient, effective cooler. At a choice of an optimal cooler it is necessary to be oriented to production brand name known corporations. As a rule, products of such corporations possess high dependability and stable parametres. And it is finite, the selected and used cooler should possess high efficiency. As examples it is possible to result products of such corporations, as Intel, Titan, Thermaltake, etc .

Cooler of the corporation of Intel, recommended for the processor of Pentium III 700

Cooler TTC-D2T of Titan corporation recommended for processors AMD Duron and AMD Athlon (Thunderbird)

Cooler Chrome Orb of Thermaltake corporation

The resulted cooler of the corporation of Intel is delivered together with processors of Pentium III 700 in them boksovom a variant. It is optimal for the given processors and can be used with them both in regular modes of maintenance, and in modes of moderate dispersal (10-20 %). However for the processors maintained in hard modes, characterised by the raised frequencies and levels of powers, it is necessary to use or the coolers of Intel delivered together with more efficient models, or to apply resources of intensive cooling. As an example of popular arrangements it is possible to result such models of coolers, as TTC-D2T, TTC-D3T, TTC-D3TB Titan corporations, and also Chrome Orb and Super Orb Thermaltake corporations which results of testing were repeatedly resulted on sites on the Internet, for example, on a site iXBT.

Not mentioning feature of a design of the specified popular coolers, it is necessary to mark, that their parametres as arrangements of cooling of processors, are close enough among themselves. Especially it concerns products of Titan corporations and Thermaltake. Temperature modes of the processors, which support are provided with coolers of these corporations, in tests differ, as a rule, within 2-3 ° With, that in a band of 50-60 degrees usually is not essential. Often bolshee influence on temperature modes of the processor is rendered by such factors, as layout of the cables influencing air circulation in the computer, and also additional fans of a system unit.

It is necessary to mark, that intensive cooling demand not only processors, but it is frequent also the chips of a chip set installed on the motherboard, and also the main components of the videoadapter and some types of dynamic storage. Besides, it is recommended to cool high-powered hard disks of the high capacity which operation is accompanied by a considerable heat release, especially in dispersal modes.

Article sizes do not allow to mirror in it such resources of support of a temperature mode of computer units, as thermoelectric units and special programs. These are subjects of separate researches and publications.
