PC Case Fans Offer Quiet Operation for Work or PlayĪnother way to compare fans is to look at their noise level, usually in dBA ranges between 10dB and 36dB. A few models have smart sensors that detect unwanted jamming of other components. Some case fans have a fourth pin that allows for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, so you can adjust fan speed via a compatible motherboard or fan control software. Many people use smaller fans for motherboard and memory chipset cooling. Fans come in different sizes and the larger the size the more air it pushes, but 80mm, 120mm and 140mm fans are compatible with most cases. The higher the CFM, the more air it pushes or draws from CPU fans and heatsinks. Another telling specification for cooling performance is the CFM (cubic feet minute). PC case fans come with set maximum revolutions per minute (RPM), and faster models tend to move more air. Protect Interior Components From Overheating

From standard computer case cooling fans to elaborate units with ultra-quiet operation and RGB LEDs, there is a unit for the designer, gamer, or even the performance enthusiast. Each case fan works differently, but they all give your PC long-lasting durability as they move the heat that internal components generate when under load. Most cases ship with a few fans built-in, but powerful system builds require extra cooling power that protects the components. A significant part of effective operation, PC case fans help keep the interior workings of gaming towers or workstation computers at optimal temperatures for high-performance tasks.
