Normally, a fan’s caliber is directly related to the air volume it creates, and its thickness is directly related to the air pressure. Air volumes are measured in the units of CFM, where C is Current, F is Feet, and M is Minutes. In short term, CFM is the number of air measured in cubic feet that passes in one minute; in other words, it is the volume of the air measured by the area of the circle times the duration of time. The correlation between the air pressure created by the fan and the thickness of the fan is positively correlated; that is, the higher the mass of the silicon steel blade inside the fan’s motor (this creates higher torques), the higher the air pressures it creates.

Since all the components inside a HDD have bearings running, when the internal temperature rises, the life of the bearings decreases. Therefore, a HDD also needs cooling, and it will extend its life time at the same time.

On all the thermal pastes selling in the market, they are usually labeled with Heat Resistance Value or Heat Conductive Value. The higher the Heat Conductive Value, the more efficient the paste at conducting heat. With the Heat Resistance Value, it is the other way around - The lower the Heat Resistance Value, the lower the heat impedance.

Always remember to use the scrape board included with the thermal paste. When applying the paste, try not to apply the paste outside of the central core. Adequate applying of thermal pastes enables the cooler’s efficiencies.

Usually it is okay to do so, as long as the fan is protected with the polarity protection. However, for fans that are not protected with such, reversely plugging the connecter will easily burn out their inside circuitries.

One of the reasons may be due to the thermal paste applied. Good thermal pastes conduct heat away easily, where as bad thermal pastes do not. Whether you apply the paste evenly or not is also another key reason.

Usually the fan(s) that come with the cooler are tuned to their best working specifications. By turning the fan(s) to higher RPMs will not necessarily increase their cooling efficiencies, but only raising more noises.

Irregular sounds are sounds caused by a fan when it operates abnormally, whereas noises of a fan are sounds a fan creates when it operates normally, usually measured in the units of dBa.

How do you detect a failure on clips? After the clips are fastened, please check the central core and the applied cooler whether they are properly fastened; if so, check the clips to see if they are too tightly fastened, and have forced the PCB board to deform.

The principle of water cooling is using water as the heat dissipating media. It is good not only at dissipating heat, but also on the circulation flow inside the chassis. Heat pipe cooling, however, uses air as the media of cooling. This works especially well on CPU cooling, but may not as effective at circulation flow inside the chassis as water cooling.

Mainly it is due to the inability of the fan’s censoring IC in detecting magnetic pole positions inside its magnetic frame, thus failing to drive the moving current inside the wire loop to switch to different positions.

The answer is “yes”. With the higher and higher frequencies of today’s memory, the need for cooling has become more necessary. Also, with more people into overclocking their PCs, the burden of heat on the memory becomes heavier; therefore, memory cooling is becoming a necessity now.

There are many components that make up a water cooler which can be a hard time when assembling. However, there is a simplified model out in the market – the Silver Knight. It combines air cooling and water cooling into one. Installations are as easy as compared to that of a conventional air cooler. Users will definitely enjoy the fun of installing themselves.

Every fan has its own different fan curves; some are set to be high on the air volumes, but low on air pressures; and some are high on the air pressures, but low on the volumes. Therefore, not all big fans offer better cooling; rather, their specs should be in accordance with the specs of the cooler.

It is the minimum voltage required to initiate the operation of a fan.

With the increasing in multimedia software that runs on higher frequencies which give off a lot of heat, a notebook pad provides greater cooling to the system by creating a consistent circulation of air flow inside the notebook, which in turn prolongs the life time of the notebook. A notebook pad is quiet and compact too.

Yes. Since the internal space of a mini PC is smaller than a regular PC, it needs cooling more. The various components inside a smaller space accumulate heat faster than a regular PC, if the cool air circulation is not smooth; this will lead to computer freezes easily, therefore, cooling for mini PCs is very much needed.

Of course it offers benefits to the computer. The ECS-GT keeps working even after the computer is shut off. It runs at 5V keeping the fans running, dissipating the heat while all other components are shut off.

Normally, this is an indication that the fan is about to be terminated due to the fan bearing’s caliber has widened, or the lubricant inside the bearing has completely dried up.

Yes. Dusts can affect the efficiency of cooling, and when they got into the fans, they tend to cut down the life time of the fans. Clean at least every six month.

Definitely. Normally, a VGA cooler is tested against its original frequency. If you burn up the card after overclocking, there is usually no warranty available for the card. Therefore, overclocked VGA cards should go with efficient VGA coolers.

The answer is “Yes”. When the cooling of the electrical components works inefficiently, it leads to various irregular computer freezes, which in turn causes tremendous losses. Therefore, efficient cooling of the electrical components is crucial.

Normally, cooler manufacturers make their coolers into different appealing colors to attract users’ attentions. Luckily, colors do not affect performances of the coolers; they just make them look prettier.

In compliance with today’s living quality standards, many users like their PCs to be as silent as possible. This can be done with the installation of a water cooler on the CPU, VGA card(s), HDD(s), memory, or the North Bridge(s) as the media of cooling. By doing this, a cooling circulation is created to achieve the goal of a silent working PC.
