A man from Hong Kong broke the speed record for his Intel Skylake by overclocking to 7.025 GHz clock speed with liquid nitrogen cooling, as reported by DigitalTrends.com. To achieve this 75 percent boost, “the overclocker had to bootstrap a nitrogen cooling solution for their CPU, using its extremely low temperature (-321 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact) to draw heat away from … [Read more...]
Nominations Open for IEEE ITherm Achievement Award
The biennial ITherm Achievement Award is open for nominations for 2016. The Award is presented in recognition of significant contributions made in thermal and thermomechanical management of electronics, of pioneering and sustaining electronics thermal/thermomechanical research contributions, of service to the electronics thermal/thermo-mechanical management community, and of … [Read more...]
Rugged Circuit Functions at Temperatures Greater than 350 Degrees Celsius
Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed integrated circuits capable of surviving at temperatures greater than 350 degrees Celsius, or approximately 660 degrees Fahrenheit. Created using silicon carbide, a semiconducting material that is more rugged than conventional materials used in electronics, the new circuits are expected to improve the operation of analog … [Read more...]
Syringe-Packaged Greases Satisfy Electrical and Thermal Conductivity Needs
Intertronics now offers CircuitWorks’ syringe-packaged conductive greases, which provide electric and/or thermal conductivity for a range of applications. CircuitWorks’ new silicone-free heat sink grease will not harden or dry out while offering excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties. It is non-corrosive and exceeds ML-C-47113 for thermal conductivity, … [Read more...]
New Plastic Helps Prevent Phones from Overheating
A new plastic material could significantly reduce problems associated with overheating mobile phones, say researchers from Loughborough University in England. Known as ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), the new plastic, unlike the ones currently used in mobile phone covers, dissipates the heat created by the lithium batteries and reduces the likelihood of … [Read more...]
