We have all had our fair share of heat problems in our computer systems. Let me first say that this doesn’t apply to those who are using pre-built systems from companies like Dell and HP, but it is intended more towards the beginner custom PC builders. Usually system builders like Dell and HP do a fairly good job of cooling their pre-built systems. The problem really starts when we enter the hardware enthusiast community. Many forums or message boards are filled with cooling advice and information, however, I feel this guide does a good job of explaining the basics.

This guide basically informs you about some heat sources, heat dissipation, and some of the better ways to properly cool the system. I really liked the case placement area of the guide, which is interesting in my opinion. Many people I know don’t know where to put their custom built and highly overclocked system. If you want more details - I suggest you check out CoolTechZone’s Basics to System Cooling Explained article.
