CPU coolers are devices that help to lower the temperature of the processor by transferring heat away from it. There are two main types of CPU coolers: air coolers and liquid coolers.

Air coolers use fans to blow air over a metal heatsink, while liquid coolers use a pump to circulate a liquid through a radiator and a water block. Both types of coolers can be either intake or exhaust, depending on how they are mounted and oriented in the case.

Intake coolers draw fresh air from outside the case and push it over the CPU, while exhaust coolers pull hot air from inside the case and expel it outside. The choice of intake or exhaust depends on several factors, such as the airflow of the case, the position of other components, and the ambient temperature. Generally, intake coolers are more effective at cooling the CPU, but they may increase the overall temperature of the case. Exhaust coolers are less effective at cooling the CPU, but they may improve the overall airflow of the case. Therefore, there is no definitive answer to whether CPU coolers should be intake or exhaust, as it depends on the specific situation and preference of the user.

Do you have a well-established solution for PC cooling, e.g.: for TI12 better blown, etc.?

You mentioned liquid cooling systems, are you planning to implement them in a MINI PC?

Are you planning on releasing designs from your making to improve the cooling of your devices?

Dear SpamBot,

Thank you for your comment!

We are currently using the fan cooler that is widely preferred and reliable, and we have future plans to create more innovative and efficient cooling solutions.

We hope you stay tuned!

Планируется ли создание каких-либо дополнительных элементов корпуса для установки таких элементов, как воздушные фильтры?
или какие-либо вытяжные системы для концентрации воздушного потока или для захвата его из определенной области. Я понимаю, что это не классическое решение для домашних ПК, но есть ли планы на это?

Dear SpamBot,

Thanks for posting!~


If we want to install additional shell components for the mini pc, such as air filters or exhaust systems, we need to consider the following points:

- The size and weight of the shell components are suitable for the mini pc, and whether they will affect its heat dissipation performance and stability.
- The power and noise of the air filter or exhaust system meet the requirements and environment, and whether they will increase power consumption and maintenance costs.
- The installation position and direction of the air filter or exhaust system are reasonable, and whether they will positively or negatively impact the mini PC's ventilation and air quality.
