FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Fans. Fans are used when natural convection is insufficient to remove heat. Fans may be fitted to the computer case or attached to CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, power supply units (PSUs), hard drives, or as cards plugged into an expansion slot.

Detailed explanation-2: -A heatsink is typically attached between the processor and the fan in order to dissipate heat in order to keep the processor cool.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heatsink is typically a metallic part which can be attached to a device releasing energy in the form of heat, with the aim of dissipating that heat to a surrounding fluid in order to prevent the device overheating. In many applications, the device is an electronic component (e.g. CPU, GPU, ASIC, FET etc.)

Detailed explanation-4: -A heat sink is a piece of metal that sits on top of a computer chip such as a CPU and draws power away from components by letting it rise through a series of fins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thermal Paste-A silvery-gray substance that you apply to a processor before installing a cooling solution. It allows for an efficient transfer of heat from the IHS of the processor to the base plate or water block of the CPU cooler that is designed to dissipate that heat.
