What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
How does a heat sink work in the power supply?
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Is water a type of heat sink?
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
Why is it called a heat sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
How are heat sink and carbon sink related?
heat sink is when heat is absorbed into any type of environment, including the aquatic ecosystem; and carbon sink is when CO2 is absorbed into any type of environment including the terrestrial ecosystem.
What is heat sinker?
makes the heat sink
The heat sink removes heat from the?
electric component
What would cause the laptop not to power on aside from heat sink?
heat sink fine+laptop won't power on
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.
What does heat sink do?
It helps conduct heat away from the object on which it is placed. Without the heat sink, a computer CPU would get too hot to function.
What is the purpose of the heat sink on a processor?
A heat sink is designed to disperse and transfer heat coming from a processor to an outside medium, so that it does not overheat the actual processor chip. It is usually used in conjunction with a fan to cool the device it is installed on.
What is the function of the heat sink?
A heat sink is a device that allows the transfer of heat away from the heat source. It can be in the form of a paste or jelly or a simplealuminum structure which is attached to the heat source. Virtually all microprocessors in computers utilize a heat sink to transfer the heat of the CPU to the aluminum which can 'shed' that heat into the air (air transfer method). Some CPUs are water cooled; one might say that this is a 'water heat sink' but that really isn't true.
