Heat dissipation is always a big problem for computers. Due to the limited space of the fuselage, the design of heat dissipation components such as fin area and fan size is limited. When running high-load tasks for a long time, such as large-scale games and professional software rendering, the internal components of the computer are prone to generate a lot of heat, which leads to a sharp rise in temperature. When the temperature is too high, the processor will automatically reduce the frequency to protect the hardware, resulting in performance degradation. In order to solve this problem, manufacturers continue to develop new heat dissipation technologies, such as using efficient heat conduction materials, optimizing the design of heat dissipation duct and introducing liquid cooling heat dissipation system. However, these solutions increase the cost and design complexity to a certain extent. How to find a balance between heat dissipation performance, cost and product volume is an urgent problem for small desktop computer manufacturers.
