Dualfan

Dualfan refers to a type of computer cooling solution that utilizes two fans to dissipate heat. This configuration is commonly found in graphics cards and some high-performance CPUs or cases. The primary advantage of a dualfan setup is increased airflow compared to a single-fan cooler. This enhanced airflow allows for more efficient removal of heat generated by components, leading to lower operating temperatures.

The two fans can be arranged in various ways. On graphics cards, they are typically mounted side-by-side, blowing air across a heatsink that covers the GPU and its associated memory. In CPU coolers, dualfans might be positioned on opposite sides of a heatsink or in a push-pull configuration, where one fan pushes air through the heatsink and the other pulls it out. This dualfan approach can lead to quieter operation as well, because the fans can spin at lower RPMs to achieve the same or better cooling performance than a single fan running at a higher speed. The increased surface area of the heatsink, coupled with the improved airflow from the two fans, makes dualfan coolers a popular choice for users seeking robust thermal management for their hardware.
