Abstract
Desktop PC CPUs have been significantly required to be the necessity of thermal management while they have satisfied the extensive data and graphic processing requirements. So the cooling systems assembled with heat pipes embedded in a metal cooling plate, and fins are widely used in the desktop PC markets. Due to a number of demands such as the confined space of desktop PCs, higher heat density of CPUs, and acoustic noise, however, there is the main drive to improve continuously cooling systems. This paper presents the flow and thermal behavior of the cooling system by using the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code.
