What Is a Computer Fan?
What is a computer fan?
It is any fan inside or connected to the computer case for active cooling.
Axial fans and sometimes centrifugal (blower/squirrel cage) fans are also used in computers.
Computer fans usually use standard sizes and use 3-pin or 4-pin fan connectors for power supply and control.
To cool these components, a fan is used to remove the hot air from these components.
Fan control is not usually an automatic process.
The computersBIOS(basic input/output system) can control the speed of the computers built-in fan system.
Case Fan
Fans are used to pass air through the computer case.
The hotter the air intake of the PSU, the hotter the PSU.
As the temperature of the PSU increases, the conductivity of its internal components decreases.
The reduced conductivity means that the PSU converts more of the input electrical energy into heat (heat).
However, using a fan alone does not prevent the small chip from overheating.
Bottom Line
To sum up, this post has introduced what the computer fan is.
The computer fan is used to draw cooler air from outside into the computer.
Whats more, you could know its multiple applications.
