The phrase cooling in computing generally refers to the dissipation of large
amounts of heat, which is created while a computer system is running. Heat is
generated inside the computer tower by various
hardware
such as
CPU,
video card
or even the
hard drive. The objective of
cooling is to maintain an optimal operating temperature and this can be achieved
through various methods including the introduction of
heat sinks and fans. Other cooling methods include
liquid
cooling and
software cooling.
