  2. Computer fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

    [citation needed] Most of the time memory modules, located close to CPU will receive enough of the air flow from the case or CPU fan, even if the air from CPU fan and radiator is warm. If the main CPU is water cooled, this small amount of airflow might be missing, and additional care about some airflow in a case or a dedicated memory cooling is ...

    Mainboard of a NeXTcube computer (1990) with 32 bit microprocessor Motorola 68040 operated at 25 MHz. At the lower edge of the image and left from the middle, the heat sink mounted directly on the CPU can be seen. There was no dedicated fan for the CPU. The only other IC with a heat sink is the RAMDAC (right from CPU).

  4. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    A fan controller with LEDs indicating fan status and potentiometers and switches to control fan speeds. Another method, popular with PC hardware enthusiasts, is the manual fan speed controller. They can be mounted in an expansion slot or a 5.25" or 3.5" drive bay or come built into a computer's case. Using switches or knobs, attached fans can ...

    This makes re-work very difficult and at times impossible. The most typical damage caused by rework is the separation of the component die heat spreader from its package. A pin fin heat sink with a Z-clip retainer Wire form Z-clips. More expensive than tape and epoxy, wire form z-clips attach heat sinks mechanically.

    SpeedFan is a system monitor for Microsoft Windows that can read temperatures, voltages and fan speeds of computer components. [3] It can change computer fan speeds depending on the temperature of various components. [1] [4] The program can display system variables as charts and as an indicator in the system tray.

  8. Motherboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard

    Most motherboards have connectors for additional computer fans and integrated temperature sensors to detect motherboard and CPU temperatures and controllable fan connectors which the BIOS or operating system can use to regulate fan speed. [5] Alternatively computers can use a water cooling system instead of many fans.

  9. CPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-Z

    CPU-Z is more comprehensive in virtually all areas compared to the tools provided in the Windows to identify various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components without the need of opening the case; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. It also provides information on the system's GPU.
