Many desktop boards North or South bridge chips do not have fan cooling. Only the use of heat dissipation, heat dissipation effect is difficult to achieve our expectations, the market part of the motherboard in the north and South Bridge also integrated graphics card and other large heat, if the problem of heat dissipation, it is likely to "machine destruction card", then how to increase the north-south Bridge, Cooling capacity of the motherboard
Analysis: the desktop board in the older, part of the North Bridge chip integrated graphics module, the surface is only standard a thin heat sink, cooling capacity worrying. Consider installing an additional cooling fan. But the main board of the North Bridge near the structure of compact, no longer installed fans. In this case, does the fan have a certain distance from the heatsink without having to be next to the motherboard? In this way we began to add the motherboard fan to dissipate heat.
DIY Install motherboard North and South Bridge 10 Yuan fan tutorial
1, in the computer city we can easily buy with D-Port power cord cooling fan, such as the author to buy the fan only sell 7.5 yuan (Figure 1). And we just have to fix it inside the chassis and aim at the North Bridge chip to blow it (Figure 2).
2, the chassis bottom distance North Bridge chip still has a certain height, so want to let the cooling fan aimed at North Bridge chip, still need to cushion something underneath it. To this end, the author prepared a plastic foam, as well as the cooling fan box, the two superimposed after the height of just. Cut a 2.5-centimeter square hole in the middle of the box (depending on the width of the fan), just to insert the fan and stabilize it.
Tip: We can glue the plastic foam and box to the bottom of the chassis through double-sided or 502 glue to prevent the vibration from working on the fan from changing their position.
3, to solve the problem of fan power supply
Considering that the fan is noisy when working at full speed, we can reduce the noise by slowing it down. This fan rated operating voltage of 12V, so as long as the power supply of 5V voltage to its power supply can achieve the purpose of deceleration. As mentioned above, the fan has a D-port, we just have to plug in the 12V two plug to switch to the position of 5V (Figure 4).
4, after good power supply, this spin down fan just can solve the North bridge chip fever problem, and less than 10 yuan transformation cost and simple hands-on steps, I believe that a bit of DIY experience players can be done. Now the new motherboard may have only one bridge chip, the chip location is also different. But as long as the reform of this article to expand the idea, to solve their heat dissipation pressure is not a problem.
