(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat has become one of the most critical issues in computer and semiconductor design: The ever increasing number of transistors in computer chips requires more efficient cooling ...

If you want to overclock your PC, you’re going to need to care a lot about how much heat your CPU generates. This video from LinusTechTips helps you understand how to pick the right heat sink, and ...

The PC processor generates very high temperature during its operation which is dissipated by the large heat sink placed above the processor. If the heat sink assembly is not tight with the processor ...

A computer's heat sink draws heat away from the CPU, preventing its tiny, delicate circuits from overheating. The large surface area of the heat sink, which is made up of many thin metal fins, allows ...

While people sit at their computers and watch movies or browse the Internet for cat videos, the processor chips in their machines generate heat. Now researchers have harnessed that heat to run the ...

Interesting release, M.2 SSDs do offer fast transfer rates but can also become quite hot. When the temperature reaches a critical point the M.2 SSD starts to throttle which results in a reduced ...

TODAY'S CUTTING EDGE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DISSIPATE SUBSTANTIALLY HEAVIER LOADS OF HEAT THAN EVER BEFORE. At the same time, the premium associated with miniaturized applications has never been greater, ...

To maximize heat transfer, intimate contact is essential between a sink and its assigned component. Insufficient contact can leave air gaps at the heat-sink-to-component interface that will reduce the ...

This computer uses 100% passive cooling (read: no fans or liquid chilling systems). So how is that possible? Well just look at the thing. It’s like one big freakin’ heat sink. We don’t have much ...

The Adata XPG Gammix S70 NVMe SSD (2TB) is a good SSD trapped under a huge and non-removable heat sink that may not fit in all systems. Wait for the new, removable heat sink design unless you’re sure ...
