technology, required the development of new and

of properties and processes in systems, materials and

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering related to the
receipt, distribution, conversion and use of electrical
energy, as well as the development, operation and
optimisation of electronic components, electronic circuits
and devices, equipment and technical systems[1].
Electrical engineering is also understood as a technical
science that studies the application of electrical and
magnetic phenomena for practical use.

The most important factor in the successful use of the
processor is cooling. Proper thermal regulation of both
the microprocessor and the entire system is required to
maintain stability at increased operating speeds,
especially since the latest architectures with a frequency
of 1+GHz extend the range in terms of extreme heat
generation. The educational and methodological manual
considers cooling systems taking into account modern
scientific achievements. In this regard, special attention
is paid to the creation and application of complementary
methods of practical diagnostics that provide the most
complete information about the basic physical, physicochemical and geometric parameters of structures and
processes occurring in them.

SUMMARY OF THE STUDY
The modern development of physics and electrical engineering is
manifested in the practical use and continuous improvement of
elements of electronic technology, required the development of new
and improvement of existing diagnostic methods, as well as the
creation of new samples of equipment for the analysis of properties
and processes in systems, materials and artificially created structures.
The relevance of the issue under study is due to the great practical
significance of electrophysical phenomena and the need to create
various kinds of electrophysical devices and devices. The task is to
master the fundamental laws of electrical engineering in order to
improve and create new methods and principles for the use of
electrophysical phenomena in processors. Many computer enthusiasts
prefer not to conform to the propaganda of the way of updating the
technology industry by introducing overclocking methods.
Overclocking is the process of increasing the speed or clock
frequency of devices, such as processors, compared to their factory
settings.

The procedures associated with the overclocking process may
vary depending on different system architectures, but the
basic concepts remain essentially the same. We will focus on
desktop personal computers, with IBM-compatible being the
dominant player in the market. The term IBM compatible has
undergone a radical departure from the early daysdesktop
computing, but the fundamental concepts underlying the
technology have essentially remained the same. The entire
spectrum of desktop systems, once designated under the
general umbrella of compatibility with IBM, can now be
referred to as the base in this case, the "x86" architecture is
used, derived from the naming process applied to system
architectures from the original 8086 in the early 1980s to the
release of 80486 almost a decade later. While various
manufacturers and developers have adopted different naming
strategies to increase market differentiation, all current socalled IBM-compatible desktop platforms remain nothing
more than extensions of the x86 core processor architecture.

The most important factor of successful acceleration:
cooling. Proper thermal regulation of both the
microprocessor and the entire system is required to
maintain stability at increased operating speeds,
especially since the latest architectures with a frequency
of 1+GHz extend the range in terms of extreme heat
generation. Overclocking the processor without proper
cooling is a temptation of fate, as this is the main reason
for component failure when systems are taken outside
the factory default settings. High and sometimes
mutually exclusive requirements are imposed on cooling
systems: they must be efficient, silent, inexpensive.
Today there are several types of cooling systems:
classical air-cooling, water-cooling systems, systems for
extreme cooling during acceleration on liquid nitrogen,
cooling systems on heat pipes and Peltier elements.

Efficiency, availability and low price of air-cooling systems are
their main advantages, disadvantages include relatively low
reliability and high noise level compared to other systems.
Water-cooling systems are a more expensive and efficient
option, which is used in systems with high heat generation or
higher requirements for the noise level of the system. Liquid
nitrogen cooling systems are not widely used due to their
complexity of operation. They are mainly used in
determining the frequency potential of processors by
overclockers who seek to reveal the frequency potential of
the processor, despite the low stability of operation. Cooling
systems based on Peltier elements are used in particularly
critical cases, since they are quite expensive, and it is
necessary to select them for each specific processor model.
Cooling systems on heat pipes are becoming increasingly
used due to the cheaper production of heat pipes and the
increase in their availability to the average consumer.
