Computerkühlungslüftern
Computerkühlung refers to the systems and methods used to dissipate heat generated by computer components, primarily the central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU). As these components perform computations, they consume electrical energy, a significant portion of which is converted into heat. Excessive heat can lead to performance degradation, component instability, and even permanent damage.
The primary goal of computer cooling is to maintain component temperatures within safe operating limits. This
Passive cooling methods exist, such as larger heat sinks without fans, which rely solely on natural convection.
