Dale Gagne, EE, ID# 9806915 Jason Vath, EE, ID# 9704365 Problem With the advent of rising clock rates in pe
onal compute
, the requirement for improved thermal management of the microprocessor and other components becomes a necessity. Through improved thermal management, we strive to extend the boundaries of PC performance. Objective To unde
tand the operational characteristics and limitatio
of an Intel based PC. Once limitatio
are unde
tood the team will strive to maximize performance through active cooling methods on the microprocessor and chipset. Scope 1. The relatio
hip between computational performance and front side bus speed will be analyzed. 2. The correlation between increased front side bus speed and processor heat dissipation will be examined. 3. The relatio
hip between processor temperature and operational
