This computer uses 100% passive cooling (read: no fans or liquid chilling systems). So how is that possible? Well just look at the thing. It’s like one big freakin’ heat sink.

CPU packages are designed to be fairly efficient in drawing heat away from the substrate onto the outer case, onto the pins, and also the metal plate which dumps heat onto a heat sink.

Many CPUs come with a cooler included to manage the processor's heat, but are these pack-ins good enough to keep things cool ...

The heat sink on top is a metal foam, which isn't a new innovation, but is something you're more likely to read about in a scientific paper than a spec sheet. The Silent Power PC isn't ready to ...

If the CPU fan is running at full speed still, check out the heat sink of the processor. Read: CPU_FAN vs. CPU_OPT for AIO. Changing the Heat Sink of processor.

A Heat Sink is an important component of a computer. Computers with Heat Sinks have faster and more effective cooling rates than computers without Heat Sinks. Let’s see how a Heat Sink works.

Most hardware manufactures install a heat sink on the processor to help dissipate the heat. When the fins on the heat sink clog with dust, the heat cannot be properly dissipated and the processor ...

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.
