Coolers are an important element of a computer's air cooling system. Each fan in the system is installed on a specific part, protecting it from overheating and combustion. A cooler is a metal or plastic radiator that drives air through itself and thus cools one or another element of the device.
Instructions
Step 1
Coolers can be aimed at blowing or blowing. The first type of devices is responsible for removing hot air from the system unit, which is formed as a result of the installed devices. The blower fans are responsible for the flow of cold air into the computer case.
Step 2
Coolers provide cooling only for a certain specific element. So, a radiator installed on the processor cools only it and does not affect the operation of other components of the computer.
Step 3
Fans are always located on the three most exposed to heat elements: processor, video card and power supply. In simple systems, the power supply acts as a cooling element for the chassis and provides ventilation and hot air removal.
Step 4
Cold air typically enters the computer from the front panel. Air flows throughout the chassis and is discharged through a fan in the power supply. If the computer has a large number of different devices subject to heating (one or more powerful video cards, several hard drives and a powerful processor), as well as with a small case size, additional coolers are installed.
Step 5
If you want to install a new device in your computer, such as an additional hard drive, you also need to keep in mind the cooling system. Purchase a new cooler for the front of the case. The radiator will draw in more air and supply it to the device. It is also worth installing a cooler that will bring out more hot air outside. It is worth noting that the larger the fan size, the better the cooling is, and therefore, if possible, it is best to purchase large-diameter radiators.
