  2. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    [11] [12] Personal computers cooled in this manner may not require either fans or pumps, and may be cooled exclusively by passive heat exchange between the computer hardware and the enclosure it is placed in. [12] [13] A heat exchanger (i.e. heater core or radiator) might still be needed though, and the piping also needs to be placed correctly ...

  3. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    The inlet air temperature of the heat sink is therefore higher, which also results in a higher heat-sink base temperature. If there is no air flow around the heat sink, energy cannot be transferred. A heat sink is not a device with the "magical ability to absorb heat like a sponge and send it off to a parallel universe". [2]

  4. Windows wait cursor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_wait_cursor

    In Windows Forms, each Control instance has a Cursor property, which can be controlled by the application itself. Control.Cursor is the cursor shown when the mouse is in the control's region; System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current is the cursor shown when the mouse enters any window of the application. [2]

  5. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    The selection of a heat sink may end up with overheating (and CPU reduced performances) or overcooling (oversized, expensive heat sink), depending if one chooses a too high or a too low case temperature Tc (respectively with a too low or too high ambient temperature Ta), or if the CPU operates with different computational loads.

  6. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Thermal switches on microprocessors often stop only the fetching of instructions to execute, reducing the clock rate to zero until a lower temperature is reached, while maintaining power to the cache to prevent data loss (although a second switch, with a higher triggering temperature, usually turns off even the cache and forces the computer to ...

  7. SpeedFan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedFan

    SpeedFan is a system monitor for Microsoft Windows that can read temperatures, voltages and fan speeds of computer components. [3] It can change computer fan speeds depending on the temperature of various components. [1] [4] The program can display system variables as charts and as an indicator in the system tray.

  8. Thermal neutral zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_neutral_zone

    In horses, the lower critical temperature is 5 °C while the upper critical temperature depends on the definition used. [11] Their thermoneutral zone is roughly 5–30 °C (41–86 °F). [12] In mice, the lower critical temperature and upper critical temperature can be the same, creating a thermoneutral point instead of a thermoneutral zone.

  9. Optical mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mouse

    An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED), and a light detector, such as an array of photodiodes, to detect movement relative to a surface. Variations of the optical mouse have largely replaced the older mechanical mouse design, which uses moving parts to sense motion.
