This project aims to provide a general overview of heat transfer. Through understanding the underlying principles that governs heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation, we aim to evolve our knowledge to more practical applications. A fully working computer system will be built on these principles to demonstrate the practicality of simple physics. 

Introduction

As more focus are put on silent computing, manufacturers start to produce computer components that are quieter and more efficient in power consumption. Let alone the CPU heatsink/fan, there are at least 50+ different products you can choose from for your system. Silent computing is the future. However, few of those can claim the title of being completely silent. The motivation behind my project is to explore the possibility of building a computer that is completely passively cooled (without fans) using just simple physics.
