- Product details
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the core of a computer system for computation and control, and is the final execution unit for information processing and program execution.
CPU heat sink is a computer component used to dissipate the heat generated by the central processing unit (CPU). Its performance directly affects CPU stability and lifespan. Common cooler types include air cooling and water cooling, with air coolers dominating the market due to their simple structure and lower cost. Air coolers consist of heatsink fins, heat pipes, and a fan. They absorb heat from the CPU through a metal substrate, conduct it to the heatsink fins via heat pipes, and then dissipate heat through air convection accelerated by the fan.
Coolers typically use an aluminum alloy substrate with copper heat pipes, while high-end products use graphite composite materials to improve thermal conductivity. Some manufacturers increase the heat dissipation area with dual-fan designs; patented technologies such as the CN 222529741 U structure, which includes two sets of heatsink fins and an independent fan, significantly improve cooling efficiency.
When purchasing, it’s necessary to consider the balance between fan size, bearing type, and speed parameters, while also matching the chassis space and processor interface specifications. With the application of thermal interface materials (TIM) and dynamic temperature control technology, modern cooling solutions can incorporate thermal sensors to adjust cooling strategies in real time.
