Airflow
pcThe volume of air moved over a specified period of time by a system, typically measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) or cubic feet per minute (CFM).
expanded
Airflow is crucial in personal computer (PC) systems for managing thermal performance and preventing overheating. Effective airflow ensures that heat generated by PC components, such as CPUs and GPUs, is efficiently expelled from the case, promoting system stability and longevity.
examples
A PC case fan rated at 120 cubic meters per hour (m³/h) airflow used to cool a high-performance desktop setup.
Typically installed at the rear or top of a PC case for effective heat dissipation in gaming or workstation applications.
A liquid cooling system with a radiator fan setup achieving 70 cubic feet per minute (CFM) to maintain optimal CPU temperatures.
Commonly integrated in custom gaming PCs where overclocking is performed for enhanced processing speed and power.
Chassis with dynamic airflow design supporting up to 140 m³/h for balanced temperature control across multiple hardware components.
Widely used in data centers or environments where high-density computing is performed.
