Keeping your computer cool is very important because, as common sense would dictate and as I have made mention of in previous posts, if the computer is not properly cooled it can result in damage to the components. In addition, the computer will shut down if the critical temperature is reached. There are times when the computer may even catch afire, so absoulte care is necessary.

In keeping with helping persons to identify how each fan looks, here are some pictures (there may be a few similarities):

Power Fan

Motherboard Fan

CPU Fan

Chassis Fan

I hope this article has helped in making identification of the different types of fans used in your computer much easier.
