Active Heat Sink: An Active Heat Sink uses an additional source to transfer heat into the environment. For example, if you install a fan on a Heat Sink, it will become an active Heat Sink.

We’ve noticed that wireless routers pump out a bunch of heat. [Jernej Kranjec] wanted to make sure that he didn’t fry it once he started adding more load to his router using OpenWRT. Wh… ...

Greetings once again!I just order a Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Plat mobo. I will be ordering an XP1800+ soon. I'm looking for advice on the heat sink / fan.I am 99.9% sure that I will not be ...

One of the most significant problems facing modern CPUs is the efficient transmission of heat between the CPU cores themselves and the heatsinks that cool them. The problem is twofold ...

The computational fluid dynamics is concentrated on the forced air cooling of the CPU using a heat sink. This paper utilizes CFD to identify a cooling solution for a desktop computer, which uses ...

A change in how the chipset stack is layered may lead to a novel way of improving heat dissipation. This week we’ve seen the ...

Thermalright introduced the Assassin X 120 PLUS V2. This dual-fan side-flow CPU cooler is part of the "Assassin X" family and features a slim heat sink positioned between two 120mm fans.

If the heat sink seems fairly stuck to the CPU (even after warming it up), you can try running the PC again for longer. You can also still try wiggling it very minimally to free it—go no more ...
