  3. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Different software is used by different motherboards. There are also third-party programs that work on a variety of motherboards and allow wide customization of fan behavior depending on temperature readings from the motherboard, CPU, and GPU sensors, as well as allowing manual control. Two such programs are SpeedFan [11] and Argus Monitor. [12]

  4. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    Rca (°C/W) = Thermal resistance of the Heat sink, between the case of the CPU and the ambient air. Tc = Maximum allowed temperature of the CPU's case (ensuring full performances). Ta = Maximum expected ambient temperature at the inlet of the Heat sink fan. All these parameters are linked together by the following equation:

  6. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    Although the pin-fin has 194 cm 2 surface area while the straight-fin has 58 cm 2, the temperature difference between the heat-sink base and the ambient air for the pin fin is 50 °C, but for the straight-fin it was 44 °C, or 6 °C better than the pin fin. Pin fin heat sink performance is significantly better than straight fins when used in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    In 1997, Mitsubishi released the 3Dpro/2MP, a GPU capable of transformation and lighting, for workstations and Windows NT desktops; [29] ATi used it for its FireGL 4000 graphics card, released in 1997. [30] The term "GPU" was coined by Sony in reference to the 32-bit Sony GPU (designed by Toshiba) in the PlayStation video game console, released ...

  8. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    The dynamic power consumption originates from the activity of logic gates inside a CPU. When the logic gates toggle, energy is flowing as the capacitors inside them are charged and discharged. The dynamic power consumed by a CPU is approximately proportional to the CPU frequency, and to the square of the CPU voltage: [5]

  9. CPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-Z

    CPU-Z is more comprehensive in virtually all areas compared to the tools provided in the Windows to identify various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components without the need of opening the case; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. It also provides information on the system's GPU.
