Proper airflow is the cornerstone of effective PC cooling. Ensuring a well-ventilated case with an appropriate number of intake and exhaust fans can drastically reduce internal temperatures. The goal is to create a consistent flow of air that moves heat away from components and out of the case. This involves choosing fans with the right size and speed, as well as positioning them to maximize airflow. Additionally, keeping dust filters clean and ensuring cables are neatly managed can prevent obstructions that impede airflow. An optimized airflow setup can significantly enhance cooling efficiency without additional hardware investments.
