What the test covers and how it is scored
This PC fans test combines installation questions with cooling basics. It assesses connections, compatibility and installation checks, as well as recognising cooling systems, identifying heat-generating components and understanding overclocking. It does not repeat the assembly process or change frequencies or voltages.
What you will check
Fan connector and headers, passive cooling, active air and liquid cooling, heat-generating components, compatibility, cable routing and the relationship between overclocking and heat.
The eight questions
- Recognise the fan connector 1
- Recognise cooling systems 2
- Choose the right connection 1
- Identify heat-generating components 1
- Check fan compatibility 2
- Resolve noise after installation 1
- Keep the air path clear 1
- Understand overclocking 1
The questions are worth 10 points in total. You earn full points for a correct first answer, half after one mistake and zero after two or more. For questions with two options, one mistake means zero points. You can keep trying or reveal the solution, which gives that question zero points.
