PC AIRFLOW EXPLANED

PC AIRFLOW

   First of all lets talk about what kinds of air flow can occur in a PC:
1- POSITIVE AIRFLOW
2-NEGATIVE AIRFLOW
3-NEUTRAL AIRFLOW

POSITIVE AIRFLOW

When we think positive we always tend to think that it is always better but it is not always so in all cases.In a PC a positive airflow means that there is more intake fans than exhaust fans.This is not bad  but also we cannot say its good it depends upon how you use it .If there are a lot of intake fans then it might create pressure of air in the case and cause fans in the case to run in a more unstable manner.But even though it has less chance for fans to run unstable there are also other things that can happen like hot air finding it difficult to find its way out which causes cpu temps and other motherboard temps to rise faster.I don't mean its particularly bad for you but if used properly positive airflow is not that bad you know.




NEGATIVE AIRFLOW

Just like positive airflow negative also dosen't always mean bad.In a pc when you have more exhaust fans than intake fans negative airflow occurs.Negative airflow helps to exhaust heat very fast but causes a vaccume effect which causes dust to enter from different holes and openings in a case ,which basically sucks in all the dust kind of like what a vaccume cleaner would do.You might think this is not a much worrying issue but all that dust can really slow down your pc fans and create really high temps and as you might know dust is really not the best thing for electronics.










NEUTRAL AIRFLOW

Neutral airflow which sounds just perfect not too good or not too bad right?Well finally yes!Neutral is the best type of airflow for a normal PC .It gives the right balance of intake and exhaust fans which we can adjust slighty according to our preference and I think I don't need much explanation in this case.

PC TECH

Tech intro I'll giving a brief intro of what i'll be writing about.I think that I will be mainly concentrating on pc hardware,new apps and some of new tech releases.I usually don't like prebuilds but one that i like is the ACER PREDATOR range of laptops,desktops and monitors.          I'm not a gadget geek or a tech pro but I really love tech and almost everything related to it.My present PC setup is not much,but it might be enough for what I do now ,like play light games,watch youtube videos,web browsing and recently blogging. My present setup is: CPU:core 2 duo e8400,3.2ghz ram :2GB ddr3(which i plan to upgrade to 4GB) HDD:segate 500GB MOBO:fronteck ddr3 with only 4GB ram support So as you can see my present setup is quite poor.I don't even have a GPU.I plan to buy one but i have no Idea when i'll be able to do that.In this blog i'll be saying about my tech intersts but i'll be creating new blogs about many intersting stuff later on.   ...

GAMES FOR LOW END PC I'll be writing about some games which are playable on a low to medium end pc with these specs: CPU: dual core or core 2 duo of 2.5-3GHZ RAM: 2-4GB GRAPHICS :intel g41 express chipset or higher So lets talk about some titles then: 1:Burnout Paradise The U ltimate Box 2:NFS MW 2005 3:IGI series  4:Minecraft 5:Eurotruck simulator 2(low setting)  It might be a bit hard to believe that you can play these games in such low specs but you can.I'll give you the avg fps you can get with low specs,like mine: Burnout paradise:high settings 20 fps                              medium settings 35-40 fps                               low settings 45-50 fps NFS MW 2005:high settings 40 fps                      ...
