The fanless spinning heatsink: more efficient and immune to dust | ExtremeTech

This blue screen is irritating and happens quite often. Sometimes my laptop works fine for 2 hours before crashing and sometimes it only lasts 10 mins. I think it is heat related because when I started using a laptop fan to cool the laptop it started giving me a little more time between...

hello everyone, what would be the best way to clean a laptop fan? using a compressed air or dismantling the cover and everything? any input on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I was directed to the windows 7 forums by some friends of mine from wargamer.com after I told them I was having some issues with my computer. This website generated a lot of praise and its my first time making use of your knowledge and experience. I have an M17x Alienware gaming...

The China Syndrome refers to a scenario in which a molten nuclear reactor core could could fission its way through its containment vessel, melt through the basement of the power plant and down into the earth. While a molten reactor core wouldn't burn "all the way through to China" it could enter...

TOKYO (Nikkei)--In light of indications that damage to the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is worse than expected, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) is expected to take a fresh approach to cooling down the fuel rods by installing equipment to circulate water that has...
