  2. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    [11] [12] Personal computers cooled in this manner may not require either fans or pumps, and may be cooled exclusively by passive heat exchange between the computer hardware and the enclosure it is placed in. [12] [13] A heat exchanger (i.e. heater core or radiator) might still be needed though, and the piping also needs to be placed correctly ...

  3. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    Both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have defined TDP as the maximum heat generation for thermally significant periods, while running worst-case non-synthetic workloads; thus, TDP is not reflecting the actual maximum power of the processor. This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding ...

  4. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

  5. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Thermal switches on microprocessors often stop only the fetching of instructions to execute, reducing the clock rate to zero until a lower temperature is reached, while maintaining power to the cache to prevent data loss (although a second switch, with a higher triggering temperature, usually turns off even the cache and forces the computer to ...

  6. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    When overheating, the temperature of the part rises above the operating temperature. Overheating can take place: if heat is produced in more than expected amount (such as in cases of short-circuits, or applying more voltage than rated), or; if heat dissipation is poor, so that normally produced waste heat does not drain away properly.

  7. Laptop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop

    A laptop computer or notebook computer, also known as a laptop or notebook, is a small, portable personal computer (PC). Laptops typically have a clamshell form factor with a flat-panel screen on the inside of the upper lid and an alphanumeric keyboard and pointing device on the inside of the lower lid.

  8. Fujifilm’s X100V now warns you if the camera is overheating

    The Fujifilm X100V is a solid choice for street photographers looking for a new digital camera. An update should avoid shutdowns caused by overheating.

  9. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    Hyperthermia, also known simply as overheating, is a condition in which an individual's body temperature is elevated beyond normal due to failed thermoregulation. The person's body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates.
