[How To] Lower the heat of your computer without any hardware changes in Windows

[How To] Lower the heat of your computer without any hardware changes

Recently I have used the computer of my wife. It is not a fast computer but the computer case blow out hot wind and make the bedroom very hot after starting the computer. Even if I start the speedstep on CPU (or CnQ for AMD processors). The hot wind still blow out from the computer.

And I have found a solution by using a software called "Throttle Stop" you may find it in the following link:

And for the right setting, you also need the following software too:
hwmonitor: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
 Helps to monitor the voltage as well as the CPU temperature

and

intelburntest easy to find in google
Helps to fullload your CPU to test the stability of your computer

What you need to do is to undervolt of the CPU power and test for the stability. It will not harm on any of the performance.

1. Start intelburntest, hwmonitor and Throttle Stop
2. Start intelburntest
3. in Throttle Stop, lower the VID by pressing the down arrow.
4. If your computer freeze up, start from 1 but increase a little of the last value
5. If intelburntest can pass for some testes, your computer should be more or less stable.
6. Run " Throttle Stop" at start up.


The main advantage for undervolt not only the heat. But also the power consumption of your computer and also the life of electric component on the mainboard. Also, undervolt can help CPU to emmit less heat and can help to slower the CPU fan for less noice. Few steps for more advantages. Why not do it.

My Intel Core 2 6420 undervolt during fullload from 1.35v to 1.1875v

 Cheers for less heat and save the earth
