Most of them.

The biggest source of heat is typically the CPU. The power supply, hard drives, memory modules, network interfaces, and pretty much anything else can get hot, too.

Why does a computer get hot?

A computer gets hot because of the heat generated by its internal components when they are in use. This heat is produced as a byproduct of the electrical energy being converted into the processing power needed to run programs and perform tasks. The computer's cooling system helps to dissipate this heat and prevent damage to the components.


Can a computer operate without a fan?

Technically yes, but not for very long, as the hardware components, most notably the processor, generate alot of heat inside the computer. If the internal heat of the computer gets too hot, it can actually MELT some of the hardware components, damaging the computer.

How does dust reduces reliability?

In computing, many internal components get very hot. As dust is an insulator, it stops the computer from being able to get rid of it's own heat. Hot components often fail. It is estimated that for a hard disk drive, every centigrade degree hotter it is, there is a 10% drop in service life.

Why is optimal air circulation so important to a computer system?

It is important because it helps to prevent overheating inside your case. A processor runs very hot, A video card runs hot. That's why there are usually some fans inside the case. Although they do help it's best to maximize the cooling inside your computer. The lower temperature it operates at the more you can push it. I run my case open aired, maybe that's a step too far but it does help. Airflow is VERY important though, don't unplug your fans unless you want your components to overheat! There are some extra cooling fans you can buy at fry's or other computer components stores, called PCI fans. They boost the cooling a a little, that should help.
