6 things you’ll want to know about CPU coolers
Computer cooling market has flourished in recent years with a wide array of air and liquid coolers for needs of every sort. It hasn’t only become more varied; it’s also become more essential. Whether you’re overclocking, gaming, designing, surfing or viewing, ensuring your system’s temperatures are low can only be beneficial. So how do you know if you are you getting the most out of your cooling solution? We’ve compiled a list of things you’ll want to consider when deciding on CPU coolers for your builds.
Good cooling fans are designed to push air into or out of a chassis with the most efficient RPMs for the lowest audio levels. There are many figures available to inform consumers if a fan is good or not. RPM, dBA, CFM and other technical jargons sound impressive when it comes to fan technology, but is it really important? CoolIT is here to set the record straight on what really matters when choosing a fan for your cooling system. 
With all the options in PC cooling these days it feels like you have to be an engineer to make a purchase decision. Take, for instance, the possibilities of configuring your fan to push cool air into the chassis, or pull hot air out of the chassis. Which configuration is better? Luckily CoolIT is full of engineers who have devoted their lives to answering questions just like this one, and we’ve uncovered the secrets based on years of research in our expert labs.
As the computing market continues to grow with faster speeds and enhanced features, heat is becoming more of an issue than ever. In an environment of increasing thermal loads, the CPU and GPU are generally the most demanding components. All electronics generate heat, which is a direct enemy of your system. There is simply no way to prevent electronics from generating the very thing that destroys them. Implementing a cooling system can significantly reduce the risks that heat cause.
