  2. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits. Components that are susceptible to temporary malfunction or permanent failure if overheated include integrated circuits such as central processing units (CPUs), chipsets , graphics cards ...

    www.aol.com/products/blog/why-is-my-computer-so-slow

    CPU Issues: If your computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit) is overheating, damaged or outdated, it may struggle to handle tasks efficiently, leading to slow performance.

  4. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    For a satellite in space, a 100 °C (373 K) surface facing the Sun will absorb a lot of radiant heat, because the Sun's surface temperature is nearly 6000 K, whereas the same surface facing deep space will radiate a lot of heat, since deep space has an effective temperature of only several Kelvin.

  5. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    Heatsink mounted on a motherboard, cooling the CPU underneath it. This heatsink is designed with the cooling capacity matching the CPU’s TDP. 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 ...

  7. Platform Environment Control Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Environment...

    From a control standpoint, the main difference between PECI and the previously used thermal monitoring methods is that PECI reports a negative value expressing the difference between the current temperature and the thermal throttle point (at which the CPU reduces speed or shuts down to prevent damage due to overheating) instead of the absolute ...

  8. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.
