Noctua fans prevent the CAIM1 ‘Anti-AI’ 4K camera from throttling — unusual camera’s processor gets toasty as it records while performing cryptographic calculations
Noctua says that its NF-A4x10 5V PWM was used by the CAIM1 camera designers due to its quiet, compact nature and strong airflow and pressure performance. This camera runs two intensive processing tasks simultaneously within a compact shell, high-bitrate imaging and cryptography, hence the need for active cooling to prevent throttling.CAIM1 proves its footage is real at the moment of capture. 4K60 capture and cryptographic proof generation at once push its processors to the thermal limit – inside a mostly enclosed shell.So it needs a fan.
