Without a teardown, it's hard to know exactly how the Series S's cooling will work, but Dellinger had a couple thoughts. What about the Series S? No console has ever had a giant fan right over its processor before, or purposefully made the fan a core part of the aesthetic. You can follow Quora on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.Microsoft says "the vapor chamber in the Xbox Series X enables evenly spread temperatures with the core and memory."

If, however, you’ve got the system where you want it and you’re wanting to tune it up a bit then it can be a worthwhile investment, especially if you’re thinking about some really thick radiators or running lots of fans. The fans aren’t worth sacrificing real performance and capability of the system. If you’re building a new system and you’re looking at premium fans and you find yourself saying something like “If I step down my CPU or GPU, or I get a smaller SSD, I can get the fans I want…” Stop. At $15 each, that’s a little over $100 on fans alone. A system like 1SQ ran seven premium fans. Ultimately, price is a non-trivial consideration in looking at premium fans. For Jane Enthusiast, who water cools everything she builds, higher static pressure fans can be an asset for extra thick radiators, especially if they have high fin density. The only time we care about static pressure from a fan is when we need to move air through a restrictive medium, like the fins of a radiator in a water cooling system. If you’re doing light web browsing, Photoshopping, and similar tasks, PWM fans can be slowed to near-idle or outright stopped and that is significantly quieter than if you just had a stock fan running full tilt.īetter Static Pressure: Static pressure isn’t something Joe Consumer needs to worry about in their fans. With software monitoring of CPU/GPU temp, you can build fan profiles that will speed up or slow down your fans based on system temperature.
This is where a more premium fan can become a serious asset. PWM Control: PWM fans are variable speed and can be software controlled. But there’s a caveat to this that we’ll get to next. If you’ve got a water-cooled system with two radiators and 6–8 fans per radiator, plus intakes and exhaust fans, then you’ll notice a little more. If you’re swapping out the stock rear exhaust fan on your case for a Corsair MagLev fan … running at the same speed, you won’t notice a difference in noise. Noise: Premium fans are a little quieter.
So what’s the difference between cheap fans and fans like the ones Noctua makes?
