The Misunderstanding of Purchasing A CPU Fan

The CPU fan is a heatsink used to dissipate heat from the CPU. It is provided for heat sink and the chassis. And we also use CPU cooler to quickly transfer the heat of the CPU and blow it into the nearby air to cool down. The cooling effect is directly related to the quality of the CPU cooling fan and heat sink. Therefore, when purchasing a CPU fan, we must avoid the following misunderstandings.

 Misunderstanding of purchasing a CPU Fan

1. Using cooling software can definitely reduce the CPU temperature

From the working principle of the cooling software, it can use the HLT instruction to put the CPU into sleep state. It will reduce the CPU temperature by using them. If we run other cooling programs in these operating systems at this time, these excessive auto-cooling programs will interfere with each other, which causes the system failing to call the HLT instruction control the CPU to sleep. It will destroy the cooling effect of the operating system itself, which even cause the CPU temperature to rise after the system uses the cooling software. Therefore, the argument that using cooling software can definitely reduce the CPU temperature is incorrect.

2. The greater the fan power is, the better heat dissipation effect

Theoretically, the higher the fan power is, the better the heat dissipation effect should be. But the theory is established under certain premise, that is to say, under the condition that the operating power of the fan does not exceed the rated operating power, the power is large and fans usually have a strong wind and heat dissipation. The power of the fan is directly related to the speed of the fan, which means that the higher the fan speed is, the stronger the fan should be. When we choose CPU fan, we can't mistakenly think that the fan power is large, and the heat dissipation effect will definitely be good. Instead, we should choose the fan that matches our own computer according to the principle of sufficient use.

3. The operating effect of the cooling fan is independent of the ambient temperature.

Since the CPU cooling fan often works in an indoor environment, and the indoor temperature just ensures that the cooling fan can run at high speed, many people think that the running effect of the cooling fan is not related to the ambient temperature. In fact, people who have developed such misunderstandings have not run computers in harsh conditions and low temperatures. In addition to paying attention to the temperature of the environment, we must also add anti-freeze lubricant to the fan to ensure that the CPU cooling fan can also operate normally under low temperature conditions.

4. If the cooling fan is installed in the opposite direction, the fan will not rotate.

Have you reversed the card of the cooling fan? Of course, no one wants to try to put their cooling fan in the wrong direction. However, if you accidentally reverse the heat dissipation, can the fan still turn? Many people will say that if the reverse is installed, the fan will definitely not be able to work. In fact, this view is wrong. From the actual operation, the fan can operate even if the fan of the cooling fan is installed in the opposite direction. However, this kind of operation can not achieve the effect of cooling, and the time of rotation is not long, which will lead to an increase in the CPU temperature of the system, so that the CPU temperature monitoring component on the motherboard will function, and the CPU will be prone to frequent crashes after frequency reduction. If it is serious, the cooling fan or CPU may be damaged. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not install the fan's clip position wrongly when installing the CPU cooler, and do not try to install the fan back to avoid unnecessary loss.

How to choose a suitable CPU fan has become a topic of great concern to us. But the market is full of fake and shoddy products, if we don't know the basics about CPU coolers, it will be easy to be deceived during the purchase process. Therefore, before we buy a fan, it is necessary to understand some performance parameters about the CPU fan. Follow us to learn more.
