Question:

What is the main function of the fan in the computer power supply?

Some say that it is to heat the inside of the power supply, and some say to drive the internal airflow of the chassis. What is it?The noise is great. If I change the power to a slower fan, can I?

Answer:

Many kinds of radiator, CPU, graphics card, motherboard chipset, hard drives, chassis, power supply and even CD-ROM memory will need these different radiator, the radiator is not mixed, and one of the most often contact is CPU radiator. In accordance with the way to take away heat from the radiator, the radiator can be divided into active heat dissipation and passive heat dissipation. The former is usually air-cooled radiator, and the latter is common heat sink. Further subdivision of the cooling mode, can be divided into air cooling, heat pipe, liquid cooling, semiconductor refrigeration, refrigeration compressor etc....
The original design, have its own use of reason! Aging two, add oil or change a fan!
The utility model is used for the heat dissipation of the switch tube in the power supply, and at the same time, the utility model also plays the role of heat dissipation of the cabinet. Or do not move freely, there is sound because the dust is too much, you need regular cleaning, including the CPU fan is the same!
Mainly to the heat supply inside the switch tube heat dissipation, but also play the role of the chassis heat dissipation. The noise to which you can add a little oil or a small noise, the best don't change the speed slow, because the switch tube heat, if the heat is not good and easy to cause the system to crash or automatic shutdown after not immediately restart.
