Introduction Existing technologies typically utilize air to carry the heat away from a heat sink that is thermally coupled to the microprocessor. Higher performance devices such as workstations, "gaming" PCs, or tower servers that utilize components with greater power dissipation can require more aggressive cooling technology. A high-performance alternative to heat sinks is a … [Read more...]
Estimating Temperatures in a Water-to-Air Hybrid Cooling System
As most readers are no doubt aware, the trend towards ever increasing processor module power is making it more and more difficult to cool directly with air. Many thermal engineers are convinced that water cooling may be the answer. This does not necessarily mean that cooling water must be supplied by the customer. Instead, in some instances it may be possible to use a … [Read more...]
