What are the misunderstandings in the use of desktop computer radiators?

          Many friends will install high-efficiency radiators in the host to ensure long-term stable operation. High-end players and game enthusiasts pay special attention to heat dissipation. As an important part of the operating environment in the case, the radiator does require players' attention. 

          However, not all users are well aware of how the hardware is used. Some DIY novices have certain misunderstandings in the selection and use of radiators, and they are also susceptible to misleading by merchants, and there will be various installation and use problems.

          Attention should also be paid to the installation and use of various types of radiators .

          Some misunderstandings of the radiator may cause the user to spend more money, and some misunderstandings may affect the normal performance of the radiator, but affect the work of the hardware, making the player "helpless", so what are the misunderstandings in the use of the radiator Need to be avoided? The author below will analyze for you from two major aspects: installation and use. 

          The tower radiator has more dense fins, and the heat dissipation effect can also meet the needs of most players. 

          It is also the mainstream product currently occupying the market. Many novice users are entangled with the orientation of the radiator and fan when installing the tower radiator, and many users consult online.

          Tower radiator blowing backwards is a common installation method 

          In most cases, the fin air duct of the radiator is located in the front and rear direction, and the fan can blow from the front to the back. This is also the most common installation method. It should be noted that the upper chassis of the power supply will make the vertical air supply affect the heat dissipation of the power supply. It has led to the mainstream of back-blowing heat dissipation.  

          There is a fan position on the top and there is enough space to install the radiator upwards 

          However, the new chassis began to adopt the design of the power supply, and many cases have a 12 cm fan position on the top, so that the air duct inside the chassis does not need to consider the air intake of the power supply. As long as the graphics card is at a certain distance from the radiator, the heat can be dissipated. It is also feasible to blow vertically upwards.

          The lower power supply makes the use of the radiator less restricted.

          For users with auxiliary cooling fans, the 12 cm fan on the top has better performance than the 8 cm fan in the rear of some cases. In this case, the radiator blows upwards to allow more air volume.

          The front fan of the chassis can suck the air from the rear of the radiator fan.

          In addition, a chassis with a front fan can put the fins of the radiator in the front, and the fan behind it can suck air from the fins, and the fan at the rear can push out the air in the chassis. 

          Unlike the tower radiator, the down-blowing radiator has a smaller volume, and most down-blowing radiators are not very powerful. They are suitable for entry-level users. Generally lower prices can also allow users with small budgets accept.

          Down-blowing radiator can provide auxiliary heat dissipation for the motherboard.

          Although the downward-blowing radiator is similar from different angles, it does not mean that the downward-blowing radiator can be installed at will, especially the heat pipe radiator should pay attention to the installation direction.

          Down-blowing radiator installation effect 

          Although the down-blowing radiator can provide auxiliary heat dissipation for the motherboard, but relying solely on the down-blowing radiator fan cannot create an efficient air duct in the chassis. We also recommend that you use a front fan or a rear fan to enhance air flow.               Another misunderstanding is that many players think that the lower the standby temperature, the better. In fact, this is not necessary. Many players will post the temperature in the post bar or forum. 

         Among them are the standby temperature and the full load temperature. The standby temperature as low as 20 degrees makes many novice players feel that it is very high-end.  

         In fact, it is normal for the standby temperature to be slightly higher. Many radiators and chassis fans use temperature-controlled fans, which means that when the computer is in standby or low-load operation, the fan will stop or run at low speed, and the hardware temperature will be slightly High, but the quiet performance is better, and it is worthwhile to trade a slightly higher standby temperature for a good operating environment.

         When the host is running, some players will feel the temperature of the air outlet of the chassis with their hands. Some players will think that the cooler the air, the better, which means that the temperature of the hardware is not too hot; a few players feel that the air is hotter, which means The heat of the hardware can be dissipated in time.  

         Some players are concerned about the temperature of the air outlet of the chassis.

         These two views have certain truths, but they are not entirely correct. The air outlet temperature is only an indication of the temperature of the entire system and cannot be used as an absolute standard. Moreover, the heat of the host is obviously different in different operating environments, so you cannot simply look at it. The temperature of the air outlet.
