Hello,
I'm in my second term of physics and needed to come up with a physical experiment and write a report about it.
Last term I wrote a paper on what was more limiting to CPU performance/advancement and came to the conclusion that physical size was the limiting factor and not heat. This term I want to work with the heat aspect.
I want my project to explain what effect each of the different components of electricity have on heat output for a CPU/GPU. I talked to my instructor and he suggested using a 555 chip, but wasn't able to get much more from him.
I want to measure the different components of electricity and what it does to a processor's heat output. Like changes in voltage, current, amps, etc and which makes the chip output the most heat and why.
I'm planning on using multisim to get my circuit laid out then physically construct it. Problem is, I don't know what components or where to start. I'm aiming for a controllable power source (amps, voltage, etc) so I can test the effects on something that emits heat when electricity goes through it. Preferably something that might resemble a CPU (semiconductor part?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
