Heat is not a new problem in computer and semiconductor design. It goes back all the way to ENIAC in 1946. In the early 1950s, companies air-conditioned their computer rooms to combat heat. Starting ...

I'm trying to figure out what is causing some overheating problems in a new system. It's got a TBird 1.2/266 on an AOpen MK7A. The MK7A has a temp probe inside the CPU socket, and I want to make sure ...

A good temperature for your desktop computer's CPU is around 120℉ when idle, and under 175℉ when under stress. If you're using a laptop, you should look for CPU temperatures between 140℉ and 190℉. If ...

I problably looked right passed a post on this, but I'm trying to figure out how to increase the speed of my HSF on the CPU.<br><br>I have a AMD Sempron 3000+ CPU on an Abit AN7 motherboard. Both are ...

The CPU cooler that I’m testing today was actually the first I had for the LGA3647 series chips and one of the first to hit the market. I’m talking about the Supermicro 4U Active CPU Heat Sink, also ...

CHICAGO — Ductless cooling systems have been chosen by many building owners for maintaining data centers and computer rooms. The ductless units take up very little room and provide the necessary ...

Under normal circumstances, the CPU in your desktop PC generates modest amounts of heat; a smart fan on top of the CPU runs just fast enough to keep it cool. At this speed, you barely hear the fan.

Want to kick your PC performance up a few notches? A good liquid cooling system moves heat from the CPU more efficiently than air cooling and can run substantially more quietly. Many PC performance ...

While people sit at their computers and watch movies or browse the Internet for cat videos, the processor chips in their machines generate heat. Now researchers have harnessed that heat to run the ...

When you look at an Intel CPU straight out of its packaging, you'll see a large piece of metal sitting on top of a piece of silicon. That piece of metal isn't actually the CPU itself, rather a heat ...
