ilent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling method, it can be described as both passive and silent.

Electronics Cooling magazine has been providing a technical data column since 1997 with the intent of providing you, the readers, with pertinent material properties for use in thermal analyses. We have largely covered the most common materials and their associated thermal properties used in electronics packaging.
