2024年3月5日 · Simply put, a heat sink is an object that disperses excessive heat from another object. They're most commonly used in computers but are also found in other objects that generate significant heat like cell phones, DVD players, and even refrigerators.

In computers, heat sinks are used to cool CPUs, GPUs, and some chipsets and RAM modules. Heat sinks are used with other high-power semiconductor devices such as power transistors and optoelectronics such as lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation ability of the component itself is insufficient to moderate its ...

2024年1月1日 · A heatsink (or heat sink) is a piece of metal that's mounted onto a heat-generating computer part. Its main job is to draw heat away from the component it's attached to and dissipate it into the surrounding air.

2024年5月6日 · A heat sink is a small air conditioner that helps cool down the internal part of your computer. It makes sure even though the temperature is high; your computer still can work with high efficiency without slowing down or becoming sluggish.

2022年5月16日 · Learn how heat sinks help protect your computer's CPU from overheating, ensuring maximum efficiency and protection of critical parts and components.

2012年12月4日 · Picking the best CPU cooler / heatsink for your gaming rig is important if you're planning to keep things quiet or overclock your system; we'll cover noise level, cooling efficiency, and...

2024年12月16日 · Heat sinks may be behind the scenes, but they’re key to ensuring peak reliability in your tech. What is a Heat Sink? A heat sink is a device used to cool down electronic components, like CPUs or GPUs, by absorbing the heat they generate and releasing it into the surrounding air.

2018年11月13日 · A heat sink is a device that incorporates a fan or another mechanism to reduce the temperature of a hardware component (e.g., processor). There are two heat sink types: active and passive. The picture shows a heat sink with both active and passive cooling mechanisms.

2024年12月2日 · A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that transfers heat from a device to the surrounding environment, helping to regulate its temperature. Heat sinks come in various shapes and sizes. They often have fins or other structures to increase their surface area.

2024年3月30日 · Heat Sinks are one of the components used to control a computer's temperature. This post explains what a heat sink is & Types of Heat Sinks.
