CPU Cooler
pcA CPU cooler is a device designed to dissipate heat from a computer's central processing unit (CPU).
expanded
A CPU cooler helps maintain optimal temperatures during a processor's operation, thereby preventing overheating and ensuring the system's stability and longevity. It comprises heat sinks, fans, or a combination of both, and is essential for applications requiring prolonged and intensive CPU usage, such as gaming, graphic design, or scientific simulations.
examples
The Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler features a dual tower design with six heatpipes and dual NF-A15 140 mm fans, providing high-efficiency cooling up to 220 watts of thermal design power (TDP).
This product is commonly used in high-performance desktop PCs, especially those used for tasks such as video editing or high-end gaming, where superior cooling is essential.
The Corsair H100i RGB PRO XT is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler with a 240 mm radiator and dual ML120 PWM fans, supporting TDPs up to 250 watts.
It is widely adopted in custom gaming rigs and workstation builds where liquid cooling is preferred for its efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
