In the program "Good morning" on the first channel, an expert on computer engineering told that with the help of an ordinary cavity, it is possible to force the old computer to work faster if it wipes them contacts on rashes of RAM (RAM).
According to him, formed over time, oxides on contacts make the computer "brake", and after cleaning it is reading to work "much faster."
What the expert was in the program of the First Channel and what its recommendations are based on, it is unknown. However, this method was discussed back in 2008 at the Specialized British Forum Tom's Hardware (thanks to Evgeny Trifonov).
The author of the question considered that rubbing the RAM rubber contacts helps in the case when the computer cannot detect a memory dye. However, it was disturbed by the fact that static electricity from rubbing can destroy the chip itself.
The forum participants recommended the author of the topic not to use eraser, as its static electricity and particles that remained on contacts could cause further malfunctions. Instead, the eldcinity was proposed to use alcohol and cotton wands, but no one claimed that in the end of the RAM or the entire computer would work faster.
YouTube full video instructions like the one that is demonstrated on the first channel ether. All is recommended to clean the contacts to accelerate the computer, but some of them openly state that oxidized contacts can cause failures (and not to force the computer to work slowly) .
TJ Observer Ivan Talachev, working as a computer master, believes that the procedure can actually be useful - but it does not speed up the memory of the memory.
The most amazing thing is not exactly ***** [nonsense]. In my practice it was that after this procedure computers finally stopped buggy and rushed with errors. Once only after this thing, the computer began to load further bios.
Another thing is that it is not so common as they say. Much more often the problem is not in contamination of contacts of the OP, but in wool and dust in the processor coolers and the video card.
This is a useful procedure, but it helps quite rarely and is clearly not a "means of all diseases", as it is shown in the program. It is necessary to start the prevention of your computer from cleaning completely different its places.
Ivan Talachev, Computer MasterThe head of the publication on science N + 1 Andrei Konyaev stated TJ that oxides can increase resistance, and this will cause a rise in temperature. In this case, the theoretically, RAM can start climbing, and the cleaning of contacts will save from this problem, but the speed of work will not increase.
About the speed of exactly nonsense, because the signal propagation rate does not depend on the resistance of the medium. Tire bandwidth is simply frequency multiplied by the amount of information transmitted by clicks. This memory here is exactly no sideways.
The only explanation that comes to mind, is what kind of oxides lead to an increase in resistance, therefore the temperature increases, and it can already lead to failures. The temperature cannot affect the speed, but may be at its stability.
