A computer's heat sink draws heat away from the CPU, preventing its tiny, delicate circuits from overheating. The large surface area of the heat sink, which is made up of many thin metal fins ...

This computer uses 100% passive cooling (read: no fans or liquid chilling systems). So how is that possible? Well just look at the thing. It’s like one big freakin’ heat sink.

CPU packages are designed to be fairly efficient in drawing heat away from the substrate onto the outer case, onto the pins, and also the metal plate which dumps heat onto a heat sink.

A Heat Sink is an important component of a computer. Computers with Heat Sinks have faster and more effective cooling rates than computers without Heat Sinks. Let’s see how a Heat Sink works.

If the CPU fan is running at full speed still, check out the heat sink of the processor. Read: CPU_FAN vs. CPU_OPT for AIO. Changing the Heat Sink of processor.

The heat sink on top is a metal foam, which isn't a new innovation, but is something you're more likely to read about in a scientific paper than a spec sheet. The Silent Power PC isn't ready to ...

What's more, despite its small size, the company claims that the ThinSink still has a cooling efficiency "25 times greater than today's best microprocessor heat sinks," and it consumes just 0.031 ...

I problably looked right passed a post on this, but I'm trying to figure out how to increase the speed of my HSF on the CPU.<br><br>I have a AMD Sempron 3000+ CPU on an Abit AN7 motherboard.
