School is a schizophrenic endeavor by design, all the more so when you are passionate about learning. Once you graduate and commit to a project, the project's needs will dictate where you must spend your attention. Relax. This will res

Yes, spinning the heatsink is the whole point, to take advantage of the reduced boundary effect from the centrifugal force. I imagine the force of the air pressing against the fins in this case is considerable at such high RPMS. The other c
