    Is a Second Fan for CPU Cooling Worth the Investment?

    Let me see if I can sum up the last few posts and maybe wrap the discussion up. When taking physics, I remember many of the principles being discussed in “isolation” to focus on one part at a time (i.e., no gravity, no friction, etc.) If we apply that here and assume that the radiator is...

    Is a Second Fan for CPU Cooling Worth the Investment?

    Not sure if this was directed at me or someone else, but I did try to look it up. I'm not a physicist, and I was unable to see how Wikipedia's explanation of it would relate to fluid momentum in a series of "disks" (their formula doesn't include anything for starting force or momentum). I...

    Is a Second Fan for CPU Cooling Worth the Investment?

    If each fan is the same, then they should have the same negative pressure on the back of each fan and positive pressure on the front. I know I'm simplifying, but shouldn't those be about the same value? If that's true, then the positive pressure in front of the push fan would be of equal...

    Is a Second Fan for CPU Cooling Worth the Investment?

    I have a question about fans and airflow, specifically related to processor cooling. I have a large heatpipe/radiator on my processor which came with one fan installed that blows air across the fins (a push fan). The assembly is set up to be able to add a second fan on the opposite side to...
