It has a silver solution on the bottom of it and it helps draw the heat into the metal part of the heatsink and then spreads out between the thinner parts and then the fan blows on it helping it cool the heat faster.

What are processor's housing?
Processors run so fast these days that they generate enough heat that they could actually destroy themselves. So modern CPUs are surrounded by a heat sink to dissipate heat away from the CPU and it also has a fan attached to it. The heat sink and the fan are the housing.
When upgrading a CPU what must be applied between the new CPU and the heat sink fan?
Thermal grease to allow heat to transfer to the heat sink.
How do you cool CPU?
With a heat sink and fan.
What goes between a CPU and heat sink?
Heatsink compount or special heat pad. The reason for this is to form a tight thermal bond between the processor (CPU = Central Processing Unit) and heatsink for the best transfer of heat away from the CPU.
What is the main function of the UPS?
what is the function of the heat sink fan? *well the CPU generates heat and in order for the CPU to remain in a safe temperature zone a haet sink is added on top of the CPU.
Does a computer CPU need a heatsink?
Yes - due to the number of operations per second it's performing, the chip gets very hot. The heatsink attached to it helps to dissipate he heat, and stops the chip from malfunctioning.
How do you clean heat sink in CPU?
Air Compresser
Why is it important to double-check the bottom of the heat sink before attaching it to the CPU socket?
It is important to double check the bottom of heat sink before attaching it to the CPU socket so as to ensure proper insulation. This one of the basic safety precautions in connecting a CPU.
What is normally applied to the heat sink of a CPU to insure good heat?
Thermal compound is usually applied to a CPU's heat sink to allow heat from the CPU to be transferred to the heat sink more effectively. The most commonly used brand by PC enthusiasts is Arctic Silver 5, a silver-based compound that transfers heat extremely well due to it's metallic base.
Which objects will be touching thermal paste?
Heat sink and CPU
What is the main computing part on the PC?
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is either a AMD or Intel processor. If you are using a desktop you will be able to locate it on the motherboard. Its under the heat sink/fan on your motherboard. Carefully remove your heat sink and you will find your cpu.
