* Room ventilation - Place the computer in a neutral location away from the rooms environmental registers. Keep the computer away from room heaters or vents at all times.
* Room placement - Keep the computer away from windows or areas of strong sunlight exposure. Placement in closets can also provide challenges to cooling. The case should be located in a way that allows good airflow. It is recommended to keep the computer away from any carpet-like material, which can easily bring dust into the computer.
* Placement next to other computers - Locating the computer away from other equipment allows air to flow in and out of the computer. Placement close to other equipment can constrict air flow and increase heat.
* Fan Air-Flow Direction - Notice the direction the computer case's fans blow air. You want cool air coming in and hot air to exhaust out. Keeping cool air coming in helps control the temperature rating inside the case, which may assist in the life span of the hardware.
* Cable Management - Having a rat's nest of cables can disrupt airflow and make your computer run hotter. It is recommended to take some time to cable manage after building a computer, as it can increase the lifespan of your computer in the future. There are various accessories that can help with cable management. Some examples are zip ties, velcro ties and cable sleeves.
