QUOTE(Akane Soma @ Jan 23 2006, 03:49 AM) wat casing are u using? if its those biasa stainless steel casing it will effect ur whole cpu temperature lor coz it absorbs heat....if its an acrylic casing...lagi worse...those casings are just for show...get a big spacious aluminium casing...not those server type lar....tower atx casings will do... if ure using more than 1 hardisk i suggest u space them 2 or 3 rows between it and put a vertical powerful 90cm fan to blow on it...though it might be a bit noisy...but itll help last the harddisk lor...just my 2 sen! i use those biasa casing...icute 1...i tink its stainless steel...aluminium casing? wow...wat abt those icute plastic casing? da 1s tat luk like iPod 1... QUOTE(Vervain @ Jan 23 2006, 10:41 PM) 40 degree is consider average la. i think there shouldn't be any big deal on the hard disk since you're not cranking up its load unless you play games and use the hard disk often la. try not to use damp cloths. cause really risky. easily short circuit. even if you're sure that the water has evaporated, it might cause harm to the circuit board. corrosion on the circuit joints.
akane soma has provided some nice details. but i think the most practical way for orcagal is to do regular maintenance. means once a month or twice a month like that on cleaning. Girls are always hard working in the aspects of cleanliness.
alternatively some of my friends suggested alcohol and cotton bud to clean all those dusty circuit boards. erm. haven try it but i think its safe la. ok....thnx...i wil do regular maintenance...hehe... This post has been edited by lex: Feb 13 2006, 11:45 AM |
