2. Water block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_block

   A water block is better at dissipating heat than an air-cooled heatsink due to water's higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. The water is usually pumped through to a radiator which allows a fan pushing air through it to take the heat created from the device and expel it into the air. A radiator is more efficient than a ...

3. 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 ...

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. 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]

6. Computer fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

   Submersive liquid cooling, placing the motherboard in a non-electrically conductive fluid, provides excellent convection cooling and protects from humidity and water without the need for heatsinks or fans. Special care must be taken to ensure compatibility with adhesives and sealants used on the motherboard and ICs.

7. Air cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cooling

   In the case of the latter, it is done by using a fan blowing air into or onto the object one wants to cool. The addition of fins to a heat sink increases its total surface area, resulting in greater cooling effectiveness. There are two types of cooling pads that can be used for air cooling: one is the honeycomb design and another one is ...
