  2. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    Thermal Design Power (TDP), also known as thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat that a computer component (like a CPU, GPU or system on a chip) can generate and that its cooling system is designed to dissipate during normal operation at a non-turbo clock rate (base frequency).

  3. Hard disk drive failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_failure

    Read/write head from circa-1998 Fujitsu 3.5" hard disk (approx. 2.0 mm x 3.0 mm) Microphotograph of an older generation hard disk drive head and slider (1990s) Noises from an old hard drive while attempting to read data from bad sectors. During normal operation, heads in HDDs fly above the data recorded on the disks.

  4. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Full-tower computer cases may contain multiple cooling fans. At the top of the case is a fan controller. Fan control is the management of the rotational speed of an electric fan. In computers, various types of computer fans are used to provide adequate cooling, and different fan control mechanisms balance their cooling capacities and noise they ...

    The magazine praised the price ("Looking at a picture...might cause you to think $600 would be a fair price...But it does not cost $600 —the VIC 20 retails for $299.95 "), keyboard ("the equal of any personal-computer keyboard in both appearance and performance. This is a remarkable achievement, almost unbelievable considering the price of ...

  8. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    The environment for the boot program is very simple: the CPU is in real mode and the general-purpose and segment registers are undefined, except SS, SP, CS, and DL. CS:IP always points to physical address 0x07C00. What values CS and IP actually have is not well defined. Some BIOSes use a CS:IP of 0x0000:0x7C00 while others may use 0x07C0:0x0000 ...

  9. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    Establishing that a computer is frequently CPU-bound implies that upgrading the CPU or optimizing code will improve the overall computer performance. With the advent of multiple buses, parallel processing, multiprogramming , preemptive scheduling, advanced graphics cards , advanced sound cards and generally, more decentralized loads, it became ...
