2. Liquid cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_cooling

   Some of the drawbacks include the risk entailed with the close proximity of liquid to electronics as well as its cost. Liquid cooling systems are more expensive than fan sets, which require less components such as reservoir, pump, water blocks, hose, and radiator. [1]

3. Heat sink - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

   A heat sink (aluminum) with its heat pipes (copper) and fan (black) A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink, [1]) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of ...

4. Water block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_block

   A radiator is more efficient than a standard CPU or GPU heatsink/air cooler at removing heat because it has a much larger surface area. Installation of a water block is also similar to that of a heatsink, with a thermal pad or thermal grease placed between it and the device being cooled to aid in heat conduction. [clarification needed]

5. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

   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.

6. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

   CPU heat sink with fan attached A heat sink (aluminium) incorporating a heat pipe (copper) All electronic devices and circuitry generate excess heat and thus require thermal management to improve reliability and prevent premature failure. The amount of heat output is equal to the power input, if there are no other energy interactions. [1]

7. Computer fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

   To cool these components, fans are used to move heated air away from the components and draw cooler air over them. 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 ...

8. Immersion cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_cooling

   These systems are replaced with liquid circulation pumps and heat exchanger and/or dry cooler systems. Power use at data centers is often measured in terms of power usage effectiveness (PUE). The definitions of PUE for air-cooled devices and liquid immersion cooled devices are different which makes such direct comparisons inaccurate.

9. Quiet PC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_PC

   A fanless CPU cooler based on heat pipe technology. A quiet, silent or fanless PC is a personal computer that makes very little or no noise.Common uses for quiet PCs include video editing, sound mixing and home theater PCs, but noise reduction techniques can also be used to greatly reduce the noise from servers.
