In our quest for higher CPU speeds and more computing power, we must fight many enemies to reach our goal. This site describes my efforts to defeat one of them: Heat.
The basic principle is simple. The maximum clock speed of CMOS chips like the average CPU increases in a linear fashion with a decrease in absolute temperature. Halve the absolute temperature, and the maximum clock speed doubles.
Thus, to increase CPU speeds, the temperature must be lowered. Browse through the articles and projects to find out how.
Enjoy!
