Running Cool Systems
Your systems must stay cool during the increased heat. Heat can lead to premature damage and even damage components due to excessive heat. Computer components generally run warm due to the electric current running throughout thesystem, at times where temperatures are high lead to inefficient cooling.
Tips to keep your system cool:
- Create breathing room for your hardware, don’t clutter too much in a tight space where good airflow is hard to have.
- Ensure that your systems aren’t near windows or heat vents so you don’t heat your system more than it could handle.
- Keep your systems in a well air conditioned room.
- Clean system fans. Whether it’s a personal computer, laptop, or server it’s important to clean out dust that could lead to inefficient fans and airflow.
- If it’s possible, replace stock fans with upgraded more efficient fans, or try adding additional cooling fans if there’s available space.
Keep your system power healthy
When it comes to excessive heat, the increase in demand for air conditioning leads to a heaving loan on the power grid, which may lead to possible brownouts or outages. Keep your systems safe with proper precautions with a good uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Why choose a UPS system?
- Create a cleaner source of power allowing for your systems to run more efficiently
- Protect from power surges
- Protect from power outages
A spontaneous loss of power can easily damage your system, proper precautions in place to protect yourself from data loss or corruption, are crucial to keep things running smoothly and ensuring your data and systems are running safely giving you enough time to shutdown properly and save money on not replacing gear, and possible priceless data.
More Ways To Protect Your Systems:
- Take a load off, litrally, go easy on your systems while they're at greater risk of powerloss or overheating.
- Power off systems if possible during storms.
- Install a power surge protector with proper rating for system.
