The collocation of radiator fan and heat sink has always been a problem discussed in the field of computer hardware. For game enthusiasts, choosing the appropriate collocation of radiator fan and heat sink can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of the computer and prevent the hardware components from being overheated due to overheating. high and damaged.

1. The collocation principle of radiator fan and heat sink

The matching of the radiator fan and the heat sink is to achieve heat dissipation, and to achieve this goal, there are different options and methods of use. In terms of computer hardware, it is usually necessary to consider aspects such as power supply stability, heat dissipation, energy consumption, and noise. Therefore, the collocation of radiator fan and heat sink needs to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Specifications of fans: Generally, mainstream CPU radiator fans are relatively simple. You can choose a suitable fan according to the size of the CPU radiator. Usually, the size of the fan is divided into 80mm, 92mm, 120mm, etc., but the air flow rate of different fans , noise, speed and other aspects are not the same, usually affect the cooling effect of the radiator.

2. Radiator specifications: The shape and size of the radiator often have an impact on the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. Generally, the larger the radiator, the larger the area and the better the heat dissipation effect, but this will increase the hardware cost and the internal space of the computer. Therefore, when choosing a radiator, you need to choose according to the actual situation.

3. The speed of the radiator fan: The speed of the radiator fan is closely related to the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. Normally, the higher the fan speed, the better the heat dissipation effect, but this will increase the hardware cost and increase the noise at the same time. Therefore, when choosing a radiator fan, you need to choose according to the actual situation, and balance the importance of noise and cooling effect.

2. How to match the radiator fan and heat sink

1. Fan selection for the heat pipe radiator: A 120mm fan is required in the heat pipe radiator. It should be noted that choosing a fan with a fast rotation speed will generate too much noise. It is recommended to choose a radiator fan with good airflow design and good quality sheet material.
