    A finned air cooled heatsink with fan clipped onto a CPU, with a smaller passive heatsink without fan in the background A 3-fan heatsink mounted on a video card to maximize cooling efficiency of the GPU and surrounding components Commodore 128DCR computer's switch-mode power supply, with a user-installed 60 mm cooling fan.

  3. GPU mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_mining

    GPU mining is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to "mine" proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. [1] Miners receive rewards for performing computationally intensive work, such as calculating hashes, that amend and verify transactions on an open and decentralized ledger.

  4. Junction temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_temperature

    Junction temperature, short for transistor junction temperature, [1] is the highest operating temperature of the actual semiconductor in an electronic device. In ...

  5. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    The declared TPDs of these devices range from 65 W to 105 W; the ambient temperature considered by AMD is +42°C, and the case temperatures range from +61.8 °C to +69.3°C, while the case-to-ambient thermal resistances range from 0.189 to 0.420 °C/W.

  6. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).

  7. Heaven Benchmark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Benchmark

    Heaven and other benchmarks by UNIGINE Company are often used by hardware reviewers to compare performance of GPUs [1] [2] [3] and by overclockers for online and offline competitions in GPU overclocking [4] [5]. Running Heaven (or another benchmark by UNIGINE Company) produces a performance score: the higher the numbers, the better the ...

  8. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    Power supplies, motherboards, and some video cards are some of the subsystems affected by this. So their power draw may depend on temperature, and the temperature or temperature dependence should be noted when measuring. [24] [25] Performance per watt also typically does not include full life-cycle costs.

  9. Thermal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_velocity

    Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking, it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution . Note that in the strictest sense thermal velocity is not a velocity , since velocity usually describes a vector rather than simply a scalar speed .
