Heat Sources(熱源)

Heat is generated through thermal radiation as a by-product of electromagnetic
movement within the circuits of our computers. The heat is caused by the internal
resistance that the electricity encounters as it flows throughout the computer,
and this resistance creates enough heat that the computer often becomes very,
very hot inside the case. Each component of the computer creates heat at a
different rate, depending on the specific operations being performed. For example,
the CPU generates the most heat, since it does the greatest number of computations
and uses a large amount of electricity. Another common source of heat is the
graphics processing unit (GPU), which does an enormous amount of processing
when performing calculations required to support 3D graphics, such as those
used in video gaming. Often, during gaming, the GPU will actually create more
heat than the CPU.

通過熱輻射產生的熱量是我們計算機電路內電磁運動的副產品。熱量是由電流在整個計算機中流動時
遇到的內部電阻引起的，並且該電阻產生的熱量足以使計算機在機殼內部變得非常非常熱。計算機的
每個組件都會以不同的速度產生熱量，具體取決於所執行的特定操作。例如，CPU產生的熱量最多，
因為它進行了大量的計算並消耗大量電能。另一個常見的熱量來源是圖形處理單元（GPU），當執行
支持3D圖形的計算時（例如視頻遊戲中使用的那些計算），它會進行大量處理。通常，在遊戲過程中，
GPU實際上會比CPU產生更多的熱量。

Often there is no indication to the end user that an overheating condition is
occurring, but even this can have severe consequences. Hard disk drives, CPUs,
and GPUs are all sensitive to temperature changes. Hard drives in particular can
become irreparably damaged by temperature changes due to the expansion and
contraction of device components. This can cause read write errors, or even a
complete failure of the disk drive.

通常，最終用戶沒有跡象表明發生了過熱情況，但即使這樣也會造成嚴重後果。硬盤驅動器，
CPU和GPU都對溫度變化敏感。由於設備組件的膨脹和收縮，特別是硬盤驅動器會因溫度變化而造成不可挽回的損害。這可能導致讀寫錯誤，甚至導致磁盤驅動器完全故障。
