A finned air cooled heatsink with fan clipped onto a CPU, with a smaller passive heatsink without fan in the background A 3-fan heatsink mounted on a video card to maximize cooling efficiency of the GPU and surrounding components Commodore 128DCR computer's switch-mode power supply, with a user-installed 60 mm cooling fan.
A water block is the watercooling equivalent of a heatsink. It is a type of plate heat exchanger and can be used on many different computer components, [1]: 186 including the central processing unit (CPU), GPU, PPU, and northbridge chipset on the motherboard. There are also Monoblocks on the market that are mounted on PC motherboards and cover ...
Fans attached to components are usually used in combination with a heat sink to increase the area of heated surface in contact with the air, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling. Fan control is not always an automatic process. A computer's BIOS can control the speed of the built-in fan system for the computer. A user can even supplement ...
Since 2016, immersion cooling in particular for bitcoin mining has become a popular method to generate usable heat. Immersion cooling offered a means to silently convert the waste heat from the mining operation to heat water, melt snow, power in-floor heating, and heat hot tubs, pools, shops, outbuildings, sheds, and greenhouses.
The front of the unit (facing the front of the PC case) has a 120 mm Radiator which is the primary heat exchanger. It is cooled by a fan. After passing the radiator, the cooling liquid moves through a thermoelectric fluid chiller consisting of a liquid cooling block with two Peltier plates. The pump includes an integrated reservoir and spring ...
EKWB has its range of fans specially designed for use with PC water cooling radiators. These fans are designed to produce high static pressure with low noise, providing increased efficiency in the movement of air through a radiator when compared to an 'ordinary' case fan. These fans are available in several colour combinations, rotational ...
When it comes to fan types, there’s no shortage of options, but many experts say the ceiling fan blows the competition away—for cooling, if not necessarily style. These fans push down a column ...
Overclocking has always meant greater cooling needs, and the inherently hotter chips meant more concerns for the enthusiast. Efficient heat sinks are vital to overclocked computer systems because the higher a microprocessor's cooling rate, the faster the computer can operate without instability; generally, faster operation leads to higher ...
