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 names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

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