Air Cooling
pcA technique for reducing the temperature of a computer system using forced air circulation.
expanded
Air cooling is a method employed in personal computer systems to dissipate heat by circulating air through heat sinks and fans. This method is important for maintaining optimal operating temperatures of components such as the CPU and GPU, ensuring efficiency and reliability during operations.
examples
The Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition is equipped with a PWM fan that operates at speeds from 650 to 2000 RPM, effectively reducing CPU temperatures in gaming or workstation setups.
Commonly used in gaming PCs where the CPU generates significant heat requiring efficient and reliable air dissipation.
The Noctua NH-D15 features dual-fan support and six heat-pipes, offering efficient thermal management for high-end CPU loads.
Typically employed in high-performance computing environments where large air volume displacement is necessary to prevent overheating.
