What time was that? I remember fans going waaaay back, at least to the 386 days. Maybe the 286 days.
- _ph_ 4y agoWell, that was the time, when home computers ruled the world :) Like the C64, the Amiga 500, the Atari ST. The very first ARM computer, the archimedes. Indeed, PCs always had fans, were big and noisy. But home computers, you just switched on.
- Tagbert 4y agoDuring the days of the Commodore 64, Atari, and some others (early to mid 80’s) those devices did not have fans.
- _ph_ 4y agoSome did into the early 90ies. Mind you, PCs at that time had a fan in the power supply but not on the CPU. My mother had a 486/33, that didn't even had a heat sink on the CPU.
