CPU cooler - why is it so important?

The more power the CPU needs, the warmer it gets and with it the whole computer. And the CPU is not the only heat generator in the system. That's why it always needs cooling systems. Most often, these cooling systems are air cooling systems and accordingly have a fan. But even then they consist of more. For example, air ducts (air shrouds) can lead the air away from the actual ventilation. In active air cooling, a heat sink and heat pipes are also part of the cooling system. In this case, the heat pipes transfer the heat to the heat sink, which in turn increases the surface area of the CPU many times over, making cooling more efficient. As you can see: There is a lot to say about cooling systems and often their importance is underestimated. You can find more information in our blog.
