2. Noctua (company) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctua_(company)

   Noctua is an Austrian computer hardware manufacturer of CPU coolers and computer fans with a primary focus on the enthusiast market. The company's inception occurred in 2005 through a joint venture partnership between the Austrian company Rascom Computer distribution Ges.m.b.H., established in August 2000, [2] and the Taiwanese cooling specialist Kolink International Corporation.

3. 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]

4. 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.

5. Computer fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

   A small blower fan is used to direct air across a laptop computer's CPU cooler. A case fan may be mounted on a radiator attached to the case, simultaneously operating to cool a liquid cooling device's working fluid and to ventilate the case. In laptops, a single blower fan often cools a heat sink connected to both CPU and GPU using heat pipes.

6. 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 ...

7. Thermal paste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_paste

   Thermal paste (also called thermal compound, thermal grease, thermal interface material (TIM), thermal gel, heat paste, heat sink compound, heat sink paste or CPU grease) is a thermally conductive (but usually not electrically conductive) chemical compound, which is commonly used as an interface between heat sinks and heat sources such as high ...

8. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

   A fan controller with LEDs indicating fan status and potentiometers and switches to control fan speeds. Another method, popular with PC hardware enthusiasts, is the manual fan speed controller. They can be mounted in an expansion slot or a 5.25" or 3.5" drive bay or come built into a computer's case. Using switches or knobs, attached fans can ...

9. Thermally conductive pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_conductive_pad

   In computing and electronics, thermal pads (also called thermally conductive pad or thermal interface pad) are pre-formed rectangles of solid material (often paraffin wax or silicone based) commonly found on the underside of heatsinks to aid the conduction of heat away from the component being cooled (such as a CPU or another chip) and into the heatsink (usually made from aluminium or copper).
