quiet atx power supply

This computer cooling article covers the many ways that heat is mitigated in electronic computers.

A computer system unit's many components produce large amounts of heat during operation, including, but not limited to CPU, chipset, graphics card, and hard drives. This heat must be dissipated in order to keep these components within their safe operating temperatures, and both manufacturing methods and additional parts are used to keep the heat at a safe level. This is done mainly using heat sinks (to increase the surface area which dissipates heat), fans (to speed up the exchange of air heated by the computer parts for cooler ambient air) and in some cases (usually CPUs) using "softcoolers".

Overheated parts have a shorter life and may give sporadic problems resulting in system freezes or crashes.

Causes of heat build up

The amount of heat generated by an integrated circuit (e. g. a CPU or GPU), the prime cause of heat build up in modern computers, is a function of the efficiency of its design, the technology used in its construction and the frequency and voltage at which it operates.
