Which component generates more heat than the CPU?
GPU (graphics-processing unit).
How do case fans contribute to cooling systems?
They make the cooling system more efficient.
What is the function of a heat sink?
It draws heat away from the CPU.
What must be applied between the CPU and the heat sink for effective cooling?
Thermal compound paste.
What are examples of active cooling methods?
Fans, and liquids like Nitrogen, Helium, Water, and Oil.
What is a major drawback of using liquid cooling?
Prone to liquid spillage.
What are the characteristics of passive cooling methods?
They use air, have no mechanical parts, and are limited in the number of components.
Name three types of component cooling.
Memory cooling, hard drive cooling, chipset cooling.
What is the primary limitation of passive cooling methods?
Not as powerful as active cooling methods.
