For any computer user, keeping his or her computer components cool, from the processor to the video card, is very important. Whether it is to keep them stable or to reach a higher overclock, computer component cooling can range from simple passive to air to insane liquid cooling.
That is all fine and dandy, but what about keeping the computer user cool as well? Summer has taken a backseat in our minds now that autumn has creped in, but there are still many situations where things can get quite hot. One situation that comes into mind is PC gaming.
Without a doubt, intense gaming sessions can get your heart rate racing and your sweat glands hyperactive. A small breeze can easily keep things such as your humid hands and your sweaty foreheads under control.
With this said, Arctic has released two USB-powered fans to keep you cool. They are the Arctic Breeze Pro and the Arctic Breeze Mobile. Each product was designed with a certain mode of usage in mind, either desktop or portable applications, and both will be discussed in the following review.
