Message: Subject: CPU heat By: Dee (IP: 193.198.152.*) Written on: 09-11-2005 22:29 Hello there... I have a simple hardware question... Here we discuss the CPU temperature problems but what I want to know is what exactly causes CPU to warm up... Is it flow of ions in silicon or what... I understand that it uses much power to compute but I would be thankfull if someone knows the hardware explanation of CPU heating. thanks
