AIR COOLING FAQ
What components benefit from air cooling?
Air cooling benefits CPUs, GPUs, RAM, motherboards, and storage drives. It helps maintain stable temperatures across your entire system, ensuring reliable performance.
How do I optimise airflow in my PC?
Optimising airflow involves strategically placing fans for intake and exhaust. This ensures a balance between high airflow and positive air pressure to minimise dust accumulation and maintain cooler temperatures.
What are PWM fans?
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans offer dynamic control over fan speed based on component temperature. They allow your motherboard to adjust fan speeds, balancing cooling and noise levels.
How can I control fan speed?
Both PWM and DC fans can be controlled via your motherboard's BIOS or dedicated software. Additionally, some cases come with built-in fan controllers, allowing for manual adjustment of fan speeds.
Are high RPM fans louder?
Higher RPM fans tend to produce more noise, but modern designs focus on striking a balance between performance and noise levels. Choose fans with optimal RPM to keep the unwanted hum to a minimum.
Can air cooling handle overclocking?
Yes, efficient air cooling can handle moderate overclocking. However, for more aggressive overclocks, you might need specialised cooling solutions, like liquid cooling.
