The order is by level of difficulty from easiest to hardest. Remember that if you have any questions they're always welcome in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/dappnode). ### 1. Air Flow + One of the key elements to keep your Dappnode's performance optimal is where you place it. There's this myth about air conditioning or cool air being able to lower your devices' temperatures, however constant **air flow** is much more important than the temperature of the air itself. We recommend picking a place for your Dappnode that will favor this, and where the heat it produces won't stay in the same room and raise the atmosphere temperature. An open room with windows is great for this, so you should about closets or small storage rooms. If your Dappnode is still struggling to keep its temperature low, try removing the upper lid. It won't look as pretty, but it'll get the job done! ### 2. Dust clean + You've probably seen one of these in the past: ![dust-clean](https://github.com/dappnode/DAppNodeDocs/assets/75956027/36cdf8fa-e012-40ec-ac6a-d0c8fb5b3abc) -These cans are very helpful to get your Dappnode's insides clean.

You can do this by carefully oppening the bottom metal lid. Loosen its four screws and be specially careful when lifting it, as there's a SATA ribbon cable attached to the NUC's board and the metal lid that can be damaged if handled roughly. For diving into the actual cleaning of your Dappnode, try to be in an outside location when performing this dust cleaning process. Keep your Dappnode safe from humidity or extreme direct temperatures. Carefuly place the can of duster in a vertical position for starting the cleaning process. Always point the airstream somewhere other than your device when starting to use it, as these release liquid for a brief period of time sometimes. After you've made sure the duster is working as expected, start blowing at the smaller spaces in the board and gradually moving to the more general area of your hardware without getting the tip of the duster to close to the circuits. Make sure the fans don't have big chunks of dust that prevent them from working properly. When done, put the bottom metal lid back on and screw it back without leaving it too tight. ## 3.

Thermal Paste Change + Your CPU has a heatsink right above it that helps it dissipate the heat off it. In order to make this temperature transfer your CPU uses a thermal paste between its top plate and the heatsink. diff --git a/docs/user/hardware/temperature.md b/docs/user/hardware/temperature.md index 19f25a69e..40c90d795 100644 --- a/docs/user/hardware/temperature.md +++ b/docs/user/hardware/temperature.md @@ -1,12 +1,14 @@ -## Temperature +# Temperature Keeping a close eye to your Dappnode's temperature is part of the Node Runner's basic good practices. Dappnode provides you with metrics in the [main dashboard](http://my.dappnode/dashboard) to do so. If you want to configure notifications for temperature changes, you can find two options: - 1. In the [DMS Dashboard](http://dms.dappnode/dashboards) you'll be able to vonfigure Grafana notifications. - 2.

Some additional tips that will contribute to an optimal temperature are: - - BIOS Adjustments: if you shut your Dappnode down you can access your NUC's BIOS setup with the `F2` key while booting. The UI includes different options that you can check in [Intel's documentation](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000096279/intel-nuc.html) and tweak according to your preferences. - - If you're using an 11th Generation NUC, check its ambient temperature recomendations [here](https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/intel-nuc/NUC11AT_TechProdSpec.pdf)https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/intel-nuc/NUC11AT_TechProdSpec.pdf. - - - If you're using a 12th Generation NUC, check its ambient temperature recomendations [here](https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/intel-nuc/NUC12WSK_L10_UserGuide.pdf)https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/intel-nuc/NUC12WSK_L10_UserGuide.pdf. + +- BIOS Adjustments: if you shut your Dappnode down you can access your NUC's BIOS setup with the `F2` key while booting.
