Air Cooling

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:

    The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

    Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
    Upon the forehead, furred
    With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    her in her cooling planet
    Revere; do not presume to think her wasted.
    William Empson (1906–1984)
