Signs & Symptoms of a Clogged Computer Heatsink. A computer's heat sink draws heat away from the CPU, preventing its tiny, delicate circuits from overheating. The large surface area of the heat ...

What he came up with is the idea of using an old CPU as a passive heat sink. He applied a bit of thermal paste to the center and some super glue to the corners.

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. We don’t have ...

If the CPU fan runs at full speed all the time, there might be something wrong with the processor or the sensor (in the fan). It can also be an issue with the heat sink on the processor.

Heat Sinks are one of the components used to control a computer's temperature. This post explains what a heat sink is & Types of Heat Sinks.

Supermicro might not be best known for their CPU coolers, but they do make them. Today we test the SNK-P0070APS4 LGA3647 Active Heatsink.

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 ...

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 ...

Heat sinks may not ordinarily be the most exciting sort of component -- but the world's thinnest air-cooled heat sink? That's... something. According to the folks at Novel Concepts, their new ...
