How to troubleshoot your CPU fan?

Regular checking and troubleshooting of your CPU fan will keep your computer running and help into extend the life of your system.

Follow the following steps to troubleshoot your CPU,

1. Check the location of the Cabinet back side; keep it away from the wall, that’s gives free circulation of air to your computer system and helps to maintain temperature of the system.
2. Regularly check the CPU fan for dust, if dust is there the use blower to remove it.
3. Use blower every after six months.
4. Use blower for the entire component on the motherboard, to remove the dust.
5. After this also fan is not working properly, then replace it by unscrewing it from the back of the CPU and installing a new CPU fan

How to buy a fan for the CPU?

Buying fan for the CPU is very important than the other components, buying and fixing a fan on the CPU is very important task will build a Computer System.

A heat sink is a metallic device that sits directly on the CPU; its work is drawing heat away from the chip into its cooler, which is made up of aluminum or copper, and having fin-like Structure. The CPU fan attaches to the heat sink, pulling air through the fins; means CPU fan indirectly cools the processor.

CPU fan comes in a variety of sizes and having normally copper or aluminum heat sink with them. CPU fan and heat sink have also indicated with which processors it is compatible with, or rated to cool.

Processors which are sold with heat sink and CPU fan, having normally 5-year warranty. If processor sold without it, carry one year warranty. Inadequate cooling can drastically shorten the life of CPU. So preferably buy bundle of them, manufacturer know more which fan shoot the Processor requirements.

Overclocking the CPU makes them work faster than the manufacturer default setting. Thus chips run hotter than normally, so the proper requirement of fan and heatsink is must that also work’s while overclocking the CPU. Such type of heat sink is normally taller than the average one, and CPU fan have more power and less noise than the commercial one.

Before purchasing CPU fan and heat sink, measure the available space inside your computer case. Advanced heat sink design very tall, not all computer cases can accommodate all models.
