On this week’s Lab Rats, Sean and Andy (and of course, the kitties) show you how to keep your PC in good running order by paying attention to something a lot of people often forget-keeping it cool. The cooler your system is, the better it’ll run, and the longer life you’ll get out of your components. Not to mention, you’ll keep from frying the temperature sensitive bits in your system like the CPU. The crew discusses how to check the CPU temperature and the internal fan speed using the BIOS, and some simple changes you can make to your configuration to use better fans or improve ventilation.
