RTX Express Summary
 
Thermal Penformance Challenges for the High Reliability Systems

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

The reliability of circuits is exponentially dependent on the operating temperature of the junction.

The temperature, performance, noise and dust are usually linked to each other.

As higher levels of power dissipation underscore the need for cooling (CPUs, video cards, chipsets, power supplies, hard drives, RAM, even smaller chips), more and more fans are finding their way into chassis which create a lot of noise and vibration.

Fans with friction and dust can seize up without your knowing.

The friction is connatural.

The dust pulled into heatsink and other components by fans, however, can cause various problems for high reliability systems.

By coating heat sinks and electrically charged components, it acts as a blanket that raises the effective thermal impedance between those components and the air.

Reliability - temperature - fans - dust - friction, there are vicious circle.

Today's computers make exceedingly more noise as they become increasingly powerful. Individual parts in today's PC require extra cooling. As such, each one of these parts produce extra noise.

Some people describe their computer noise as an irritating whine. Some describe their PC as a jet airplane taking off. Whatever your perception of your noisy computer, there is no doubt that computer noise is becoming an increasingly annoying problem.
