Whether you're a gamer, overclocker, or professional, we have cooling solutions designed to offer the best possible thermal performance for your PC.


Types Of Air Coolers Explained

CPU Cooling: CPU air coolers dissipate heat generated by the processor to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent overheating.

GPU Cooling: GPU air coolers, designed for graphics cards, help regulate temperature during graphics-intensive tasks, ensuring stable performance and longevity.

M.2 Cooling: Designed for M.2 SSDs, these enhance cooling, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining consistent storage performance.

RAM Cooling: RAM coolers improve thermal management for memory modules, enhancing system stability and potentially allowing for overclocking.


Air Cooling Terms Explained

HIGH AIRFLOW

High airflow fans are most suitable for use as intake fans. They excel at drawing air into the case, effectively cooling the components of your PC. The majority of these fans can move up to 82 cubic feet of air per minute (82 CFM), with a typical tolerance rating falling closer to 52 CFM.

STATIC PRESSURE

High static pressure fans are the perfect choice when you need to mount them on a CPU cooler or radiator. They excel in pushing air with greater force through confined spaces.

SPEED

Measured in RPM (Rotations Per Minute), fan speed indicates how quickly the fan spins at a given percentage of its capacity. Most fans maintain a steady rate of 1200 RPM, with some ranging from as low as 400 RPM to as high as 3500 RPM.

NOISE

Usually quantified in dBA (Decibels), noise level represents the amount of noise a fan can generate. It is largely influenced by the fan's RPM, size, and optimisation for its intended purpose. Most fans operate within the range of 16 to 32 dBA.

AIR COOLING FAQ


What components benefit from air cooling?

Air cooling offers advantages to CPUs, GPUs, RAM, motherboards, and storage drives. It plays a crucial role in maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your system, ensuring reliable performance.

How do I optimise airflow in my PC?

To optimise airflow, strategically position fans for intake and exhaust. This achieves a harmonious balance between high airflow and positive air pressure, reducing dust buildup and keeping temperatures cooler.

What are PWM fans?

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans provide dynamic control over fan speed based on component temperature. They empower your motherboard to fine-tune fan speeds, effectively managing cooling and noise levels.

How can I control fan speed?

PWM fans can be managed through your motherboard's BIOS or specialised software. Some cases even come equipped with built-in fan controllers, enabling manual fan speed adjustments.

Are high RPM fans louder?

Higher RPM fans typically produce more noise, although modern designs aim to strike a balance between performance and noise levels.

Can air cooling handle overclocking?

Indeed, efficient air cooling can handle moderate overclocking tasks. However, for more aggressive overclocking endeavours, you may find it necessary to explore specialised cooling solutions like liquid cooling.
