| Globalwin WAA08 Fan Duct |
Since the idea behind a good processor cooler is to get the heat away from the CPU itself where is the hot air supposed to go? Well, thats where case fans or even the power supplies come in to play. Case fans are usually 80mm or larger in size and install either on the front of the case pulling air in, or on the back of the case taking air out. Power supplies have a built in fan designed to not only pull a constant stream of fresh air over the internal voltage regulators and transforms of the power supply itself, but to provide a way of venting air from the inside of the case outside. This is done by having the exhaust fan point out the rear of the computer and sucking air through vent holes on the portion of the power supply thats inside the case.
In order to get more cooling Global Win has designed a Fan duct system that takes the best of both worlds and combines them, by having a case fan mounted inside an air duct unit to help suck the air out the rear of the case. But can it really provide any additional cooling over standard case cooling methods?
