In thermodynamics a heat sink is a heat reservoir that can absorb an arbitrary amount of heat without significantly changing temperature. Practical heat sinks for electronic devices must have a temperature higher than the surroundings to transfer heat …

2024年8月8日 · We'll address the basic working principles involved in heat sinks, introduce active and passive heat sink configurations, and discuss how some users implement heat sinks in their applications. What is a heat sink? A heat sink is a component that increases the heat flow away from a hot device.

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.

A heat sink is used in electronic devices to dissipate heat and prevent overheating. It is typically made of a metal such as aluminum or copper. It absorbs and transfers heat from the device’s central processing unit (CPU) or other heat-generating components.

2024年5月6日 · What is a Heat Sink? A heat sink is a device used in electronic equipment to prevent it from getting too hot. It's usually made from materials that conduct heat well, like aluminum or copper. The heat sink sits on top of parts like the CPU in a computer and helps pull heat away from these components.

2022年5月16日 · A heat sink is a piece of metal that sits on top of a computer chip such as a CPU and draws power away from components by letting it rise through a series of fins. By themselves, heat sinks are passive, meaning they have no moving parts.

2024年12月3日 · Heat sinks are thermal management devices that transfer heat from a component to the environment. Their purpose is to maintain optimal temperatures for electronic components. As electronic devices process information or produce light, they generate significant heat due to energy consumption.

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.

The heat sink (also spelled as heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transmits the heat produced by the mechanical or electrical device to a liquid (usually coolant or air) where the heat dissipates away from the device. This allows you to regulate the temperature of the device.

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.
