What are heat sinks?  How do they work?
A component designed to lower the temperature of an electronic device by dissipating heat into the surrounding air.
Explain how liquid cooling systems work?
As the liquid passes through the heat sink, heat is transferred from the hot processor to the cooler liquid.How is Thermal compound used?

Thermal grease is primarily used in the electronics and computer industries to assist a heat sink to draw heat away from a semiconductor component such as an integrated circuit or transistor.
Briefly explain the difference between DRAM, SRAM, SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, RAMBUS?

Explain parity vs. non-parity?
RAM parity stores a parity bit for error detection. Non-Parity does not
