(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat has become one of the most critical issues in computer and semiconductor design: The ever increasing number of transistors in computer chips requires more efficient cooling ...

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. What he came up ...

The CPU cooler that I’m testing today was actually the first I had for the LGA3647 series chips and one of the first to hit the market. I’m talking about the Supermicro 4U Active CPU Heat Sink, also ...

1: What is Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5? The CM5 is a computer for industrial and embedded applications equipped with a processing chip equivalent to the Raspberry Pi 5. The CM5 does not have input ...

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 sink, which is made up of many thin metal fins, allows ...

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. The "Assassin ...

While people sit at their computers and watch movies or browse the Internet for cat videos, the processor chips in their machines generate heat. Now researchers have harnessed that heat to run the ...

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 much ...

Heat and pressure go hand in hand as we know from Fourier's law of heat conduction (q = -k × A × dT/dx). That’s the correlation behind an intriguing new application from Sensor Products Inc. that ...

Jacob Kastrenakes is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade. Silent Power’s tiny computer doesn’t even really look like a computer. It looks ...
