We’ve noticed that wireless routers pump out a bunch of heat. [Jernej Kranjec] wanted to make sure that he didn’t fry it once he started adding more load to his router using OpenWRT. What he came up ...

While people sit at their computers and watch movies or browse the Internet for cat videos, the processor chips in their machines generate heat. Now researchers have harnessed that heat to run the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat has become one of the most critical issues in computer and semiconductor design: The ever increasing number of transistors in computer chips requires more efficient cooling ...

The CPU cooler that I’m testing today was actually the first I had for the LGA3647 series chips and one of the first to hit the market. I’m talking about the Supermicro 4U Active CPU Heat Sink, also ...

Interesting release, M.2 SSDs do offer fast transfer rates but can also become quite hot. When the temperature reaches a critical point the M.2 SSD starts to throttle which results in a reduced ...

This computer uses 100% passive cooling (read: no fans or liquid chilling systems). So how is that possible? Well just look at the thing. It’s like one big freakin’ heat sink. We don’t have much ...

Heat and pressure go hand in hand as we know from Fourier's law of heat conduction (q = -k × A × dT/dx). That’s the correlation behind an intriguing new application from Sensor Products Inc. that ...

Jacob Kastrenakes is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade. Silent Power’s tiny computer doesn’t even really look like a computer. It looks ...
