![]() This aluminum cooler is grooved, or in other words, has relatively thick fins (covered by part of the M.2 SSD’s heatsink), through which the air flows. And most importantly, there is a fairly large 50mm fan (most motherboards have a smaller one), so it will fit more material in its place. There is no grid or anything in front of it that requires more destructive disassembly. In addition, it can be very smoothly removed and installed back without any sign of intervention. Firstly, because it has an axial fan that does not inspire confidence. One of the most suitable motherboards (if not the most suitable) for such a test is the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge (WiFi). How much will they improve purely passive cooling? And in general, with such a “modification”, will the cooling capacity already be higher than with the factory setting, which almost always counts on the fan? These are the questions that have been making your and our heads spin (thanks to Mino for the tip!) in the last few days. ![]() This time we will look at what can happen when you remove the fan from the structure and stick other heatsinks in its place, thus expanding the radiating/absorbing surface. This may or may not be the case, as evidenced by a recent test comparing an axial fan with a radial fan. And when the fans are still of the axial type, the whole thing is also extremely inefficient, because the blades do not push directly between the fins, but first below each other and only from there, secondly, the air gets between the fins, but at the cost of higher noise and lower static pressure. Among the discussants there are also opinions that the installed fans are used meaninglessly (and that the manufacturers most likely did not test it at all, and so on). The issue of cooling the most packed and energy-intensive chipset today is relatively complex. Why don’t manufacturers do it on their own? We tested different speed modes with a fan and compared them with a pure heatsink and also one supplemented by small passive coolers with needles. ![]() In reality, however, it is not as easy as it may seem. The hated fans in the AMD X570 chipset cooler would rather be turned into a proper heatsink by many users.
