Further information: Computer fan

Fans are most commonly used for air cooling when natural convection is insufficient. Computer fans may be fitted to the computer case, and attached to CPUs, GPUs, chipset, PSU, hard drives and PCI cards. Common fan sizes include 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, and 140 mm square. As of 2011, 200mm to 230mm fans are sometimes used in high-performance computers.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or cooling:

    A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.
    O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    So God stepped over to the edge of the world
    And He spat out the seven seas;
    He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed;
    He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled;
    And the waters above the earth came down,
    The cooling waters came down.
    James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
