Small Details on Motherboards
Cooling (Cont'd)

Like we said, adding a colored LED on the chipset fan is just an aesthetic feature. Some motherboards manufacturers are really working on solutions to improve the motherboard cooling. ABIT, Chaintech and ECS have solutions to pull the heat generated on the voltage regulator region outside the computer case.
Figure 10: Cooling solution by ECS.
Figure 11: The chipset fan from this ABIT motherboard is installed in a way that it also helps on the motherboard cooling.
Figure 12: This cooling solution from ABIT removes the heat generated by the voltage regulator transistors.
Figure 13: Cooling solution from Chaintech, same idea from above but using heat-pipes.
