Article 1: Axial Fans in Computer Cooling Systems Axial ac fans are a cornerstone in modern computer cooling systems, providing efficient airflow to dissipate heat generated by high-performance components. These fans operate by drawing air parallel to the axis of rotation, creating a high-volume, low-pressure airflow ideal for electronics. In personal computers, servers, and data centers, axial ac fans are commonly integrated into cases, CPU coolers, and graphics card assemblies. The primary advantage of axial fans in computer cooling lies in their ability to move large volumes of air with minimal noise at moderate speeds. For instance, a typical 120mm axial fan can push 50-80 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air while operating at 1000-2000 RPM. This is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures in components like processors, which can exceed 80°C under load without proper cooling, leading to thermal throttling or hardware failure.
