ASSMANN WSW has introduced the 'Stamped CPU Heat Sinks' series, a combination of 'CROSS-CUT' and 'Finger-Shaped heat sinks'. The series is available at distributor Rutronik. An advantage of the new ...

When we use a computer, some amount of heat is generated. Doing heavy tasks, such as playing heavy graphics games, generates more heat. The amount of heat generated is inversely proportional to a ...

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 ...

We’ve noticed that wireless routers pump out a bunch of heat. [Jernej Kranjec] wanted to make sure that he didn’t fry it once he started adding more load to his router using OpenWRT. What he came up ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Upgrading your CPU can be a frustrating experience, even though the physical acts of removing an old processor and installing the new one are pretty easy. The more difficult questions to answer are ...

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 ...
