Liquid Cooled Cpu Fan Direction

Your typical air cooled pc is packed with case fans graphics card fans and a cpu fan or two positioned atop a big metal heat sink to keep your expensive components nice and frosty.

Liquid cooled cpu fan direction.

The first is an air cooler which comes with a big metal heat sink and a fan that pulls air away heat from the cpu. Overall though liquid cooling tends to generate less. You have the reservoir the pump the radiator the fans some tubing a block for either. Ek water blocks the leading premium computer liquid cooling brand launched a new rgb focused coolant based on a new formula with long lasting stability and vivid addressable d rgb reactivity.

Cpu coolers generally come in two varieties. Water cooling systems whether they are a custom loop or an aio all follow the same basic principles. So flip the fan and run it as an updraft. In the very least we can look at liquid cooler placement performance in a few different cases.

This includes measuring how much a front radiator might reduce cpu temperatures at risk of raising gpu temperatures or how a top mount might do the opposite. Again this can vary in that there are air coolers with fans specifically designed to reduce noise and fan settings or fan selection can impact the amount of noise generated. An interesting test would be to measure the difference that occurs when you reverse the fan direction of such a cooler. Liquid cooling especially when using an all in one aio tends to be quieter than the fan on a cpu heatsink.

All fans will be configured to 100 in our testing. When possible direct cpu cooler output to the nearest exhaust fan. A side mounted fan expelling or drawing in air in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard might be useful here but not all cases support that.
