thermalCards
thermalCards are a type of specialized hardware component designed to manage and dissipate heat within electronic devices. They are particularly prevalent in high-performance computing, gaming rigs, and other systems where component temperatures can become a critical factor in performance and longevity. These cards are often integrated into graphics processing units (GPUs) or other powerful processors, but can also be standalone solutions for specific cooling needs.
The primary function of a thermalCard is to provide an efficient pathway for heat to move away
thermalCards can employ various cooling mechanisms. Passive thermalCards rely on natural convection and radiation to dissipate
