The chip creates a huge suction force. It has tiny vibrating membranes inside the chip. As they vibrate, they create this tremendous suction force that pulls air through the vents at the top. And as it flows through the chip, it picks up the heat and exits sideways out of the chip. That's all promise. The knock on effect from that is that you don't have to throttle your chip inside your computer.
