Air Cooling Terms Explained

HIGH AIRFLOW

High airflow fans are best suited for use as intake fans, allowing them to draw air in through the case cooling the PC's components. The majority of fans operate at a maximum of 82CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), with the moderate rating for tolerance being closer to 52CFM.

STATIC PRESSURE

High static pressure fans prove ideal when mounted to a CPU cooler or radiator, as they move air at a greater force through smaller spaces.

SPEED

Measured in RPM (Rotations Per Minute), speed refers to how fast the fan may spin at a given percentage. Most fans operate at a consistent rate of 1200 RPM, but generally spin between 400 and 3500 RPM.

NOISE

Usually referred to in dBA (Decibels), this is the level of noise a fan can produce. It greatly depends on the RPM and the size of the fan, as well as how well the fan has been optimised for its intended use. Most fans are audible between 16 and 32 dBA.

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.
