While each person is playing games, you must record
temperatures of the PC with the side panel off using the thermal
imaging camera or the IR thermometer. Please complete the following
lab report as you work. You are investigating how hot do you think
the computer will get and why?
Please make sure you fix the spacing before handing it
in. Be sure to take a few photos, you will need it post-lab (Hint
hint… Thermal camera…).
Pre-Lab Questions:
Describe the kind of airflow a computer should
have.
What temperature should the computer be idling
at?
What is the hottest temperature a computer can get
at?
What other factors besides the hot-running components
should be taken into account when talking about computer
temperatures?
Which component do you think produces more
heat?
Background
You will write some information on what you know about
the lab you are investigating into.
Problem Statement
What question(s) are you trying to answer? Include
independent and dependent variables and control (if
appropriate).
Hypothesis
Write a possible solution to the problem. Make sure your
statement in testable. Statement should reference your
variables.
Materials
● Make a list of all items used in
the lab
Procedure
Write a list of steps which explains what you did in the
lab. Should be written so that anyone could repeat the experiment
step by step! (like a recipe)
Data
Include a data table(s) and observations about the lab.
Label all tables appropriately.
Conclusion
Accept or reject your hypothesis and explain why.
Include summary of data. List any errors that could have occurred
and what you would do differently next time you completed the
lab.
Post Lab:
What are some extraneous variables in this
lab?
Do you think this computer’s heating solution is
effective? Why or why not?
Why is it important to have a cooling solution in a
computer system?
Reflecting on your pre-lab questions, what were you
right or wrong about?
Continuing question 4, what do you still wonder about
heating and cooling?
Attach an image from the thermal camera, and explain
what is happening.
