♨️ Modern computer chips produce a lot of heat, and researchers say they have been able to 3D print a pure copper cold plate that would let data centres cool their tech far more efficiently

Hi, looking for any experiences with improving the heatsinking on a GTX745 graphics card GPU please.

My wife's machine was having bad issues with thermal throttling, so we replaced her heat transfer paste. But the clips...! Her heat sink was awful, so we got one that uses metal posts instead of plastic clips, and her machine is running 10-15°C cooler now.

We were thinking about just replacing her computer, but now we've probably gotten a bunch more years out of her current machine.

#CoolingTips

Just a little whiff of air goes a long way in cooling your power device! Notice the steep drop in #ThermalResistance of a #Heatsink at low air velocity. In this example, going from 0 m/s to 2 m/s, Rth is almost halved.

Hey #Fediverse, maybe someone can #fedihelp me out :).

I bought barebones #Minisforum UM 890 Pro and therefore it does not come with that fancy #DDR5 SO-DIMM heatsink that comes included with pre-configured models that have #RAM and #SSD included.

I kinda like the way it is designed and been looking all over the place but failed to find it available for sale. If anyone knows a place - it'd be greatly appreciated :).

Here's a Reddit discussion:

I have replaced the noisy Toshiba fan+heatsink from my #Lenovo #Thinkpad #T430 with the quieter Delta #fan and #heatsink from the dead Thinkpad T430 that serves as organ donor for the one I use.

The fan noise was getting me crazy. It was unbearably loud. See this video for comparison:

(tagging #thinkpadt430 for completeness)

This is my remote #backup #server. Yup, is a #laptop. A very old one, it has more than 12 years, and has been used as server, 24h for the last 6 years. It curses me every single day, but still keeps doing its job (running a #Debian stable with #sftp).
It has a very little and thin #heatsink, it clogs very often. I clean it once a year, but I should do it more often. But since it's at my parent's, this is what I can do. The battery still manages to keep it on for a couple of minutes in the event of a power outage, so it's able to shut down cleanly (but then has to be restarted manually by my parents).
