You can't hear fans when they run at a very low speed. This will make your cpu cooler and use less energy
- polshaw 14y agothis will only be true under load. the cooling shown is not enough to manage the cpu under sustained load, and the fan is present, so either it turns on when the cpu temperature rises, or it is very infrequently under load.
- andreasvc 14y agoIt is my experience that any mechanical component will start to make noise at some point. Better to avoid it altogether. I don't understand why you say that using a fan would make the CPU use less energy. On the contrary, the fact that a CPU requires cooling indicates that it uses more energy than a CPU which doesn't (more energy converted to heat).
- legulere 14y agoElectrical resistance is dependent on the temperature. The lower the temperature of your cpu is, the less power it uses.
