Passive cooling is an approach to cooling computer components through slowing the speed at which the component, such as the processor, is operating. That approach contrasts with active cooling, which involves using fans in preference to slowing the speed of the component.Passive cooling is an approach to cooling computer components through slowing the speed at which the component, such as …
We sometimes hear reports of mini computers being slightly noisier than our customers expected. Unless they are designated as “fanless” (meaning they have no cooling fan and instead operate entirely on passive heat dissipation), mini PC’s will generate some noise. Is it normal for PCs to make noise? Normal noises should expect to hear include a low humming or quiet …

The heat absorbed by this thermal sink then dissipates into the surrounding environment. While normal fanned computers do use heatsinks, fanless computers make use of a network of several heat sinks placed all over the board, that connect to the computer’s case which is, itself, a heatsink. How do fanless computers cool? So how does a fanless PC stay cool? …
Though technically not every Mini PC is fanless, most rely on the absence of a fan in order to fit components into such a compact unit, while also providing enough power to facilitate everyday usage.These mini desktops typically use low-power processors that don’t generate as much heat as high-powered processors. This means the mini desktop doesn’t need a powerful fan …
