Backplate when upgrading cpu cooler

Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

1. Not really. Opening windows will do more. Or getting AC unit if you live in hot area.

2. Most tower aftermarket coolers require use of custom backplate (comes with cooler) to reduce weight on mobo.

hey i just happend to have 2 questions that some of  you might be able to help me with.

 

1- (kind of silly) does making my cpu run cooler with a new cpu cooler actually make my room cooler or just only my cpu/pc

2- do I need to install another backplate when upgrading the cooler because my case doesn't allow me to change the backplate without getting the motherboard outside of the case?

 

if someone can anwser me it would be really nice

 

have a good day :)

1-No, heat is dissipated from the radiator 

2-Probably, unless you have X99 or a setup that lets you install the block directly to your current config(doubtful)

- ASUS X99 Deluxe - i7 5820k - Nvidia GTX 1080ti SLi - 4x4GB EVGA SSC 2800mhz DDR4 - Samsung SM951 500 - 2x Samsung 850 EVO 512 -

- EK Supremacy EVO CPU Block - EK FC 1080 GPU Blocks - EK XRES 100 DDC - EK Coolstream XE 360 - EK Coolstream XE 240 -

First question is really silly, the cooler is a fan, yes? If you remember in school, energy is never lost, it simply moves. Therefor thou heat stays in the room, although not in thy computer...

It looks as if the peasants have risen up, and found swords!


But their sword's look a little short, if you know what I mean!


Good! The squires need training anyway!

Technically. The more you cool your PC, the hotter your room gets, because it removes the heat in your computer, and disperses it into the air of your room

No, the room doesn't get warmer. The heat is more quickly moved away from the components with better cooler but same amount of heat is being put into the room.

 

2. Depends on the cooler and the motherboard.

No.. The heat rather than being trapped in your case, is being expelled from the case and into your room. Thus. Making your room hotter, even by a little bit

The system doesn't produce or expel more heat with better cooling. With better cooling, the same amount of heat is just more quickly moved away from components.
