Keep Your Electronics Cool this Summer
Posted at 18:48, 06/06/2008 by LauraWilliams

Heat annoys. Heat destroys. Protect your electronics this summer with a few good tips from Of Zen and Computing:

  • Don't stack electronics. Your electronics conduct enough heat individually. If you have your gaming console on top of your DVD player, and your DVR on top of that, you should definitely split them up.
  • Keep vents clear. Almost every electronic device has one or more vents to control it’s temperature. Make it a point to look around your house for any loose items that may be obstructing the airflow around your electronic devices.
  • Position electronics away from heat. Use common sense when storing your electronics. Keep them out of direct sunlight, and if it’s possible, place them in the path of a fan or air conditioner. Hot air rises, so store things on the basement or ground level of your home.
