heat sources. It is particularly efficient as the main heat can be directly absorbed and dissipated from the sink. However, it takes a lot for hardware engineers to find out the main heat sources within the components. Meanwhile, it also contains a mechanism that can automatically raise the internal temperature when it is used in the extremely cold locations. It often requires lots of jobs to keep the system working either in the extremely hot or cold surroundings.
