CPU Cooler Cooling Fan Related Problems
Package Included:
The CPU acts as the brain of a computer. It tells the other components what to do when you enter commands into the computer. This is done by electricity passing through a conductive material. When electricity passes through the conductive material, the material will oscillate. The frequency of these oscillations is measured in Megahertz where 1 MHz is 1,000,000 cycles. Therefore, if you have a 500 MHz computer, then it will oscillate at 500,000,000 times per second. The oscillations produce heat and if not controlled it will cause the conductive material to degrade and change its properties.
A system fan is a fan that will cool the entire computer system. Although it will not cool specific components within the computer case it will keep air moving throughout your computer case. In an effort to be competitive, many of the computer manufacturers keep their costs low by only having an exhaust fan at the power supply. In the new era of GHz these exhaust fans do little to keep the inside of your computer cool, let alone the specific component such as the CPU or hard drive.
Most Pentium IV computers will come with a CPU fan and this same clip is used. If it does not come with a CPU fan it should have the clip on the motherboard for you to use.
