Today’s computer parts generate a lot of heat. This is a known fact. Any electronic device generates heat. In the last few years advances have been made in how to move the heat away from electronic components in computers. Fans were the cooling method of choice until just a few years ago. Now, advances in cooling technology are making it more likely that fans will no longer be needed. There are several methods other then fans that can now be used in computers.
The use of high efficiency heat sinks is one of the up and coming methods of cooling a PC. Specially designed heat sinks are now available to replace fans in power supplies, on CPUs and on video cards. Most of the high heat producing computer components have heat sinks specifically designed for them. There are already several computers that take advantage of this new design. When heat sinks are used a lot of heat can be effectively moved out of a computer, enough to allow it to run without problems at standard speeds and under normal loads. The most efficient combination of heat sinks includes a CPU, motherboard, power supply and video card sink with a special computer case designed to effectively disperse the heat radiated.
Another method used to eliminate fans is fluid cooling. Many strides have been made to develop fluid cooling technology. Computer manufacturers have developed a way to run a series of tubes and hoses throughout the computer so that the liquid can be circulated throughout to cool things down. So what they have done is basically place the equivalent of a radiator into a computer. This liquid circulation allows for fast cooling of components to keep the computer running at its very best. Water cooling allows for a transport mechanism to carry the heated water away to secondary units, usually a radiator. The water also allows for quieter running fans that not only “quiet” the noises of the fans, but also allow for speeding up the CPU’s by tweaking the frequency or “over-clocking” the CPU. One of the advantages of fluid over heat sink cooling is that the fluid is more efficient. This allows computers to run more efficiently and faster.
Today’s Computer Parts site has many articles that focus on computer cooling. The articles also address computer components, peripherals, and accessories. These articles are well researched and written. The content is as interesting as it is informative. New articles are added the site on a daily basis.
To incorporate some diversity, there are a lot of articles that have nothing to do with computers. These articles are reviews of and are linked to the site where they were found. This is a wonderful way for sites to help promote each others web site(s) and increase search engine rankings. Featured sites that are a part of the growing Bailey Ventures Inc. collection can be accessed via this site. I highly suggest visiting all these sites as they have much to offer.
