A computer cooler is an electromagnetic mechanism that rotates under the influence of amperage. The cooler has a screw-shaped head that rotates to create airflow in one direction. The device is intended for cooling the internal components of the computer. How to choose it correctly?
What are the types of coolers
Coolers are actually very different, and they differ in color, size and power. Each of the parameters, except for the color, is extremely important, because not every cooler size will fit into a certain computer. For example, a 5 to 9 cm cooler is used to cool the central processor, and 10-12 cm coolers are used for the hood. But this is not a rule, because everything also depends on the model and brand of the computer, on the cooler manufacturer and other factors. Today's computer coolers can be safely divided into two large categories - modding coolers and standard accessories.
Standard
Standard components for coolers come immediately with the computer, that is, with the case. If there is a desire and opportunity, you can add a few more coolers inside the case to facilitate the cooling process and make it more productive. Standard coolers can be found at specialized computer stores. They are distinguished by low power, so they are not very popular.
Coolers for moding
Moding is the same tuning, only in a computer environment. This classification of coolers has a higher power and, what is also nice, a stylish appearance. In modern coolers, you can see the backlight, thanks to which you can make the computer itself more colorful. But still, the main parameter that has made mod coolers popular is power.
Endurance and power of coolers
The power of any cooler is measured in revolutions per second, as well as by the strength of the voltage. Regular, standard coolers also have some current absorption, ranging from 8 to 24 volts. Modified coolers have an absorption power of up to 64 volts. In other words, modded coolers are more powerful.
Few facts. In order to start working, the video card must heat up to 65 degrees, and this heating occurs in 15-20 seconds, that is, while the computer is starting up. While the user is not playing, the temperature remains the same, but after starting some heavy game, the video card heats up to 75 degrees, and this is also a normal temperature. But during the game, the temperature will rise, so there are coolers that lower it. An ordinary cooler, cooling the video card, gives up all the power and starts heating itself. What kind of cooling can we talk about here? Modified coolers cope with this task with dignity, without interruptions in work.
As a result, if you need a really high-quality cooler, you should buy a modded model, which will be not only beautiful, but also useful. And if you need a simpler model, and for office rather than gaming activities, you can purchase a standard, ordinary cooler, it will be enough.
