  Silent Computer Cooling
As you can see from the computer cooling diagram to the right, the idea behind a rear exhaust case fan is the creation of a "wind tunnel" in your computer just over the CPU and northbridge chipset.
One very important key to proper computer cooling is making sure all wires and cables are routed and bunched as to not block airflow.
Dust causes computer components to hold in their heat, thereby contributing to their wear and even causing them to overheat (and therefore die).

  Computer-Controlled Cooling Boxes at the Cryonics Institute
Our computer-controlled cooling boxes give us the ability to control cooling rates with some precision in any temperature range (with minimal manual supervision), and to log the temperature changes that actually occur so that cooling curves can be generated and studied.
The computer will calculate a cooling rate (slope of a line on a cooling curve) that is necessary to achieve the desired target temperature (eg, −130ºC) in the desired time (eg, 8 hours) for each step.
When the program is started, the computer begins opening the Magnatrol valve at a rate required to achieve the desired cooling rate based on feedback from the controlling thermocouple (which would be the thermocouple in the throat used to approximate brain temperature).

 Computer cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inside the unit is a compressor, the same type that cools a freezer.
This vapor is condensed in the tubes of an air cooled heat-exchanger.
Some CPU cooling designs blow the warm air directly towards the back of the case, where it can be ejected by a case fan (for example Arctic Cooling's Freezer 64 Pro).

 Tutor Tip: Computer Cool
The large computers of yesterday were kept in special climate-controlled rooms because computer chips and other mechanical components had to be kept cool.
While today's personal computers don't need such extraordinary care, they should be kept at a normal temperature and never be left in a car in the summer heat or in direct sunlight in high temperatures.
If you are mechanically handy, replacing the cooling fan is a fairly easy endeavor, but if you have never opened a computer case before you may want to have someone knowledgeable install your new fan.

 Computer Power User Article - Computer Cooling Technologies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
When a heatsink-fan combination cools a CPU core, the process is called forced convection because a fan forces the air surrounding the heatsink to move past the heatsink.
Miniature heat pipes can be especially useful in thin notebook computers, which don't have the thickness in the computer body to support the traditional fan and forced-air system used to cool a CPU in a desktop computer.
Manufacturers employ cooling technologies designed to meet the needs of the clock speed at which the CPU is marked, meaning running the chip at a higher speed means the cooling technologies included with the chip probably aren't sufficient.

 Watercooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Contrary to air cooling, it uses water as the heat transmitter and is commonly used for cooling internal combustion engines in automobiles.
A typical watercooling setup consists of an object to be cooled, a pump which circulates the water and a radiator such as a large heatsink (possibly with a fan).
An alternative cooling system, which enables components to be cooled below the ambient temperature, but which obviates the requirement for antifreeze and lagged pipes, is to place a thermoelectric device (commonly referred to as a 'Peltier junction' or 'pelt' after Jean Peltier, who documented the effect) between the heat-generating component and the water block.

 Computer Cooling
The fan mount is simple: a small block of wood with the fan tie-wrapped to it; a piece of felt between the fan and the wood minimizes noise.
The 90nm processors generally run so cool that the thermal pad doesn't seem to soften and spread in use as it would with a hotter CPU (or perhaps it just takes a lot longer).
The sensor was apparently cooled by all the air from the fan but the NF4 chip and the heatsink were not - this was not expected so it was fortunate I checked rather than trusting the readout.

Unlike comfort-cool air conditioning systems, precision air conditioners are specifically manufactured as computer room cooling systems to maintain the temperature, within one (1) degree, and the humidity of a computer room within a very narrow range.
In general, a computer room should be maintained to provide a temperature of 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 to 55 percent relative humidity at the air inlet of the critical equipment.

 What is computer system cooling? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
The phrase cooling in computing generally refers to the dissipation of large amounts of heat, which is created while a computer system is running.
Heat is generated inside the computer tower by various hardware such as CPU, video card or even the hard drive.
The objective of cooling is to maintain an optimal operating temperature and this can be achieved through various methods including the introduction of heat sinks and fans.

Computer science professor Hany Farid and mathematics and computer science professor Daniel Rockmore have designed tools that perform mathematical and statistical analyses that identify spatial relationships among an artist's pen and brush strokes, as well as their intensity and density.
According to Mudawar, in addition to developing a useful cooling device, his research also is revealing new information about microfluidics, which so far has focused largely on devices considerably larger than his heat sink.
Small, quiet cooling is needed for applications such as game consoles, set-top boxes, and rack servers, as well as laptops, Krewell noted.
