When your laptop fails due to overheating, it’s the Second Law of Thermodynamics in play. As the electricity in your computer continues to produce heat without proper cooling or airflow, the enclosed ...

In a new paper, researchers have detailed a brand new way to cool down computer chips. This idea manipulates the speed of photons. Researchers at Stanford University have managed to develop a new way ...

A patented passive cooling system for computer processors could save U.S. consumers more than 6.3 billion dollars per year in energy costs. A patented passive cooling system for computer processors ...

Enthusiasts have been using extreme cooling solutions for years, including water cooling loops, full submersion oil, and Peltier coolers. These setups have allowed DIY builders to run heavily ...

at least they are trying... I've used laptops that were much slower than 1GHz and thought I would have blisters on my leg.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A couple of years back, one of our Nanowerk Spotlights addressed the issue of thermal management of computer chips – the fact that heat has become one of the most critical issues ...

CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT are entirely different and serve distinct purposes in the context of a computer cooling system. CPU_FAN or CPU Fan Header is the primary 4-pin fan header on a motherboard, and it ...

Computer cooling has become a major environmental problem, due to developments in digitalization and artificial intelligence. Computers produce heat and need to be cooled down in order to perform ...
