How to choose the right fans for your PC build

Is your PC too hot? Too dusty? Too loud? You might need to think a little more about your cooling.

Join Jacob as he goes through the things you need to know to buy the best fans for your PC. From size, noise level, bearing type, and whether you should favor static pressure or airflow for the best results. He also very succinctly explains the differences between normal and reversed fans. And he’s very handsome. Okay, it’s me, I’m Jacob, they have no control over me here.
