Thermal Management ✗ What is Thermal Management and why do we need it
Let's compare the temperatures of the processors {AMD Epyc 7662} and {AMD Epyc 73F3}. It is important that the higher the TDP of the processor, the more powerful the cooling system will be required. The optimal model is considered to be a processor with a lower TDP. With faster processors that dissipate more heat than the slower processors, it is no longer possible to ignore thermal management. Ask yourself questions: - Should you always put thermal paste on CPU? - What is meant by thermal management? - Why is thermal management important? As computing speeds increase, thermal management is becoming a serious problem in computer systems, so pay attention to it.
