  2. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits. Components that are susceptible to temporary malfunction or permanent failure if overheated include integrated circuits such as central processing units (CPUs), chipsets , graphics cards ...

  3. Underclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

    Underclocking can also be performed on graphics card processor's GPUs, usually with the aim of reducing heat output. For instance, it is possible to set a GPU to run at lower clock rates when performing everyday tasks (e.g. internet browsing and word processing), thus allowing the card to operate at lower temperature and thus lower, quieter fan speeds.

  4. Dell XPS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_XPS

    Note that there are severe overheating problems with the graphics card in this model., [74] and just like the Precision M90, GPU failures due to cracking in the type of solder used on the NVIDIA chipsets to bind them to the substrate were common and settled via a class-action lawsuit with NVIDIA in later years. [citation needed]

  5. 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.

  6. Lag (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_(video_games)

    Many problems can be solved simply by allowing the clients to keep track of their own state and send absolute states to the server or directly to other clients. [11] For example, the client can state exactly at what position a player's character is or who the character shot. This solution works and will all but eliminate most problems related ...

  7. 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.

  8. Laptop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop

    In the past, some laptops have used a desktop processor instead of the laptop version and have had high-performance gains at the cost of greater weight, heat, and limited battery life; this is not unknown as of 2022, but since around 2010, the practice has been restricted to small-volume gaming models. Laptop CPUs are rarely able to be ...

  9. Immersion cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_cooling

    The temperatures used in immersion cooling are determined by the highest temperature at which the devices being immersed can reliably operate. For servers this temperature range is typically between 15 and 65 °C (59 and 149 °F); [6] however, in ASIC-based crypto mining devices, this range is often extended up to 75 °C. [7]
