What three methods or devices are used to cool a CPU?
Passive and active air cooling and liquid cooling. What three methods or devices are used to cool a CPU
If you open your PC and look at the CPU how can you tell if it uses active or passive cooling?
If the PC and CPU are still plugged in and the computer is turned on, a person can tell if they have an active or passive cooling system. An active cooling system allows the fan to run constantly. A passive system allows the fan to run only when there is danger of overheating.
How can you tell if it's uses active or passive cooling by looking at the CPU?
The difference is that Passive cooling is just a heat sink that dissipates the heat into the air without the help of a fan. Active cooling is when you have a heat sink and a fan is directly blowing/sucking air thru the heat sink to cool it. The fan does not have to be on the heat sink as with some dell/gateway computers. The fan is on the plastic shroud, which in turn fits right over the heat sink. Water cooling and phase-change cooling is also considered active cooling.
Why is important to upgrade the CPU cooling system when overclocking the CPU?
Because it makes the CPU run hotter
Which cooling pad designs are best for a CPU?
There are a number of different CPU cooling pad designs. The most appropriate design to use will depend on the CPU and motherboard configuration and the available budget.
How to add cooling system to modem to cool CPU?
There are various ways to add cooling system to modem to cool CPU. The easiest way is to buy an internal or external fan which you will use to cool the CPU.
