Abstract

The central processing unit (CPU) is a part of computer that executes instructions of a software program. The CPU is responsible for processing most of the data within the systems and as data is processed within a system, heat is generated. To overcome the CPU overheating, cooling systems that help to regulate the temperature and maintaining efficient operation had been introduced. This study introduces CPU cooler using evaporative cooling method to enhance the performance of the current CPU cooler. Evaporative cooling method cools the air through evaporation of water. The temperature of dry air can be dropped significantly through the phase transition of liquid to vapour which can cool air with less energy consumption. To overcome the overheating of the CPU is vital as it can prevent the CPU from damaged or malfunction. Current CPU cooler that using air system only is lack in efficiency as it uses only air to cool the CPU. It doesn't produce enough cooling to reduce temperature of the CPU while it is running on its full power. The objective of the project is to design and to fabricate the CPU cooler that using evaporative cooling method as its cooling system made up of PV A sponge, electric cable junction box and CPU cooler. Plus, the objectives of this project also to test the efficiency of the designed CPU cooler and to compare it with current CPU. This project will focus on designing and fabricating the CPU cooler that using evaporative cooling method as its cooling system. The design process of this product will be carried out using SolidWork software. The CPU cooler will be tested on a desktop computer running with AMD Athlon (tm) Dual Core Processor with lgb RAM located in the living room under normal condition temperature. At the end of this project, after the implementation of the evaporative cooling, the temperature of the CPU can be reduced up to 5°C. The humidity inside the desktop casing increased only 2% from normal condition.
