Regardless of whether a fan is mounted to your central processing unit, your case or sitting on your floor, its purpose is the same. Fans change how air flows, more effectively moving it from one ...

A CPU's operating temperature will rise if the cooling fan breaks, dramatically increasing the chance of hardware failure. Stock modern computer CPUs use a two-part CPU cooler that features a heatsink ...

CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT are entirely different and serve distinct purposes in the context of a computer cooling system. CPU_FAN or CPU Fan Header is the primary 4-pin fan header on a motherboard, and it ...

The objective of the project is to build a temperature control that can be adjusted by the user and be able to control several fans with just one sensor. Using the custom-built temperature control, ...

That is the one true way (that I know of) and the only way i've ever seen it done. With one exception so far, I believer AeroCool makes a heatsink called the "Deep impact" or the "dp-102" that can ...

I wonder why all of these computer manufacturers are using axial fans to cool CPU's and PC cases? Axial fans do not work very well against back pressures that are created when trying to push high ...

Heatsinks and CPU fans can be very large, limiting the hardware configurations in any computer, but what if you could condense and combine them into one component? At CES 2015, startup CoolChip ...

Building a PC with a low budget doesn’t mean poor performance. Cheap components are always getting better, but when budgeting, the PC doesn’t skimp on important things like extra fans, CPU coolers, ...
