Software Provides Thermal Optimization of a Computer CPU

Heat is the primary enemy of any electronic component. In order for an electronic device to have a long, problem-free life, cooling must be an important design consideration. The problem of cooling CPUs, in particular, has grown as processors have become more powerful. Water cooling systems are one option for keeping blazing- fast CPUs cool. As an example, engineers used finite element analysis (FEA)-based, multiphysics analysis software to consider whether a proposed water cooling system design would regulate CPU temperature in order to meet the manufacturer’s recommendations.
