<B>Problems with modern CPU cooling, and how they can be overcome through ducting.</B><BR><BR>Anyone familiar with computer cooling will realise that with modern processors, operating at extremely ...

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 ...

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 ...

While other cooling products get all the limelight - we're primarily thinking of you, CPU coolers - the humble fan is just as important when it comes to cooling hardware. However, while most cases use ...
