Computer cooling refers to the methods used to dissipate heat generated by computer components, particularly the CPU and GPU. As these parts work, they produce heat, which can lead to overheating and potential damage. Effective cooling ensures that the components operate within safe temperature ranges, maintaining performance and longevity. There are several cooling techniques, including air cooling and liquid cooling. Air cooling uses fans and heat sinks to move hot air away from components, while liquid cooling circulates coolant through tubes to absorb and dissipate heat more efficiently. Both methods are essential for optimal computer performance.
