CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT are entirely different and serve distinct purposes in the context of a computer cooling system. CPU_FAN or CPU Fan Header is the primary 4-pin fan header on a motherboard, and it ...

Keep your system cool and running at its best with the best computer CPU cooling fans, designed for efficient heat management and peak performance. Alexandru-Bogdan Ghita / Unsplash The game is ...

When you boot your Windows 11 or Windows 10-powered Dell computer, you may receive the Error Code 2000-0511. In this post, we will identify the potential causes, as ...

For a CPU, or processor, to maintain a safe operating temperature, it needs a CPU fan. When properly installed, a CPU fan stays in constant contact with the CPU's metal plate so all the heat generated ...

A CPU's operating temperature will rise if the cooling fan breaks, dramatically increasing the chance of hardware failure. Stock modern computer CPUs use a two-part CPU cooler that features a heatsink ...

Fans in PCs can be objectionably loud. In many cases, the amount of noise produced by the fan can be considerably reduced by lowering its speed. Although this will decrease the amount of cooling, this ...

When balanced mode secretly behaves like performance.

Windows PCs and laptops require a dedicated fan to support heat dissipation. The fan helps keep the hardware cool and ensures it doesn’t overheat in any intensive work or task. During peak performance ...

I have a gateway "performance" desktop computer that I have not modified and it has a -really- loud fan. It is a Pentium III 600MHz processor and I have not overclocked it or anything. It has a fan on ...

That is the one true way (that I know of) and the only way i've ever seen it done. With one exception so far, I believer AeroCool makes a heatsink called the "Deep impact" or the "dp-102" that can ...

The DIY fix worked surprisingly great.

In his latest work, artist and designer George Zisiadis uncovers the beauty in something ubiquitous: the plastic computer fan. The kinetic sculpture, called "Phyxel," is made from a grid of 100 CPU ...
