What Does Air Cooling Mean?
Air cooling is a process of lowering air temperature by dissipating heat. It provides increased air flow and reduced temperatures with the use of cooling fins, fans or finned coils that move the heat out of a casing such as a computer case.
Techopedia Explains Air Cooling
There are various techniques used that include cooling fins, fans or finned coils. Components in many electronics produce mass amounts of heat that can cause damage. A central processing unit (CPU) uses a cooling fan or heat sink to disperse heat that is clipped or mounted on top of the CPU. CPUs also add fins as part of their heat sink.
