Heat sink is a kind of device to cooling the electrical appliances in the electrical components easy to heat, mostly made of aluminum or copper, such as computer CPU ( central processor) use large cpu heatsink computer heat sink, television power tube, line tube, power amplifier in the amplifier tube all need use heatsink. In general, heat sinks should be coated with a layer of heat-conducting silicone grease on the contact surface between electronic components and heat sinks in use, so that the heat emitted by the components can more effectively conduct to the heat sinks and send out to the surrounding air through the heat sinks. CPU at work will produce a lot of heat, if you do not send out the heat in time, light will lead to a crash, heavy may burn the CPU, the CPU heat sink is used to CPU cooling. heat sink plays a decisive role in stable operation of CPU. It is very important to choose and buy a good heat sink when assembling computer.
CPU heat sink main body consists of heat sink and fan, because the heat sink is directly in contact with the surface of the CPU, so its heat conduction ability to a large extent affects the overall heat dissipation effect.
