Silent-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 … [Read more...]

Calculation Corner: Using Vendor Data to Estimate Thermoelectric Module Cooling Performance in An Application Environment
The application of thermoelectric devices to cool electronic components has been of interest to thermal engineers for many years. Thermoelectric (TE) cooling modules offer the potential to either reduce component operating temperatures at a given heat load, or allow higher component heat dissipation at a given temperature level. Readers who are unfamiliar with TE cooling … [Read more...]
