Intel processors are pretty popular these days. There are a lot of people who have one and are happy with it. They offer great performance for everyday use.
Intel processors come in several different speeds, making it a bit difficult to find the one that fits your needs. That is why we are here to help!
We will show you which ones have fans and which ones do not.

2) Why do I need a processor fan?
Until recently, most processor fans were passive. This meant you had to put a piece of paper or something else in the fan to keep it spinning.
This is no longer the case! Today, there are several different ways fans can be kept up and running.
The most common way is by using a CPU fan stand. These come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: A fan stand that connects to a CPU fan. You simply place your fan on the stand and let it do the rest!
Some stands allow you to control the speed of the fan via a computer program.
What happens if I do not use a processor fan?
If you do not use a processor fan, then you will have to make sure that your computer does not overheat. Without the fan, your computer may overheat and/or suffer from overheating issues.
This is something that you should look into if you do not have a fan installed in your computer. Most computer shops will sell you one so go out and buy one!
Computer shops will also sell you fans that connect to the motherboard and/or graphics card fans, but we suggest leaving those out for this article’s sake.
The reasons why we suggest leaving the graphics card fan off are two-fold: first, it just makes sense to have a small fan on top of the graphics card to push hot air away from your system; and second, it just seems more honest to leave the motherboard fan off since it is also connected to the power supply.
Our suspicion is that when both fans are connected, there may be some issues with convective heat transfer between them which could lead to problems such as high CPU temperature or GPU temperature.
Can I use any fan with my processor?
Not even the smallest fans can be used on a processor due to the contact between the processor and fan. The material that holds the fan in place is too thin to allow adequate air flow.
Instead of a fan, many processors come with a heatsink. A heatsink helps regulate temperature within the CPU as it cools down. With this being an issue, users can either buy thermalpaste or use a paperclip to regulate temperature as needed.
User should note that when using a paperclip to regulate temperature, it must be very thin. Too much heat regulation will not work and the CPU will burn itself off.
Where can I find a compatible fan for my processor?
If you have a Intel Core i5, Core i7, or Core i9 processor, you can buy a fan to replace the cooler fan on your PC. These fans are known as radiator fans and are made to cool multiple parts of a computer system.
Radiant heat is an important part of cooling a computer. When the heat is spread out more evenly, it improves performance and longevity.
To find a fan that matches your CPU, go to www.intel.com and look under “Processor Cooling” for the link labeled “Fan Support Guide”. You can also call Intel at (800) 762-7586 if you do not find it there.
What are the different types of fans available?
There are three main types of fans that can be installed in a processor. The first is the passive fan. These fans are usually mounted on the rear of the processor and does not require power to operate. This type of fan may not be suitable for a processor that requires active cooling due to fan speed or rotation.
The second type of fan is the static discharger. These fans must be connected to a power source in order for them to operate. These types of fans may not be suitable for a processor that requires no external cooling because it will just sit and discharge its static electricity when switched on.
The third type of fan is the thermal discharger. These types of fans must be connected to a power source in order for them to operate. These types of fans can have settings such as speed or rotation settings built into them so they match the desired effect such as raising or lowering hot spot temperature by adding more airflow or rotation settings to set desired effect such as spinning up background processors like Nancarrow does with his Black Series 2 series processors.
How do I choose the best fan for my processor?
Fan design is a very important part of fan design. Most fans are made of a standard plastic, with some rubber or cloth added for durability. These materials ensure that your fan will not break if it is placed on a hot surface, such as in an oven or dryer.
Shape of the fan can also play a role in how the heat is dispersed. Taller fans tend to pull more heat away from the computer, down onto the motherboard where processes and applications can access it. Larger fans tend to pull more heat into the system, making them heavier when running.
Many consumers fail to note the height of their CPU because they do not know how high their CPU is.
What are the differences between fans?
A fan is a device that uses wind to move air. A fan isn’t just used to cool things off – that’s called cooling off – but instead it is used to blow air.
How a fan works will depend on what type. Some fans use ducts to move the air, while others use liquid bearings or wheeled units to move the air.
As opposed to looking fancy, powerful fans can cost hundreds of dollars! So, most people just stick with cheaper fans on their system because you never know when you’ll need something more powerfull!
The key difference between fans is how strong they are and whether or not they have levers on them for controlling the amount of air that comes out of them.
Should I use a cooler with my fan?
When gaming there are often times when you need to keep the computer cool. These times include when the computer is being used for gaming, or you want to test out a new game mode or feature.
To help with this it is good to use a fan to keep the computer cool. While playing certain games can make the computer hot, and that can stress out the fan making it run extra hard.
Keeping the fan running at a low speed can help save money in cooling liquid and cooling fans. We suggest using 2 large fans together to create more air movement around the computer.
Should you run a larger fan on your machine? Yes! Having some air movement will help save money in liquid cooling solutions, and give your machine a better feel goosing.
