What else can I help you with?
A heat sink is a device to improve the purity of the electrons in an electrical circuit?
There is no such thing as the "purity of electrons". A heat sink is used to keep a device reasonably cold.
This is glued to a chip with a conductive thermal paste?
The component is likely a heat sink used to dissipate heat generated by the chip. The conductive thermal paste helps improve the contact between the chip and heat sink for better heat transfer. This setup is common in electronics to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance.
What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
What is fansink?
A Fan sink is a Heat sink with a fixed FAN. Heat sink's are blocks of metal, primarily used are are copper, and aluminum, that draw heat from a source ( such as your Processor, or another heat producing chip set ) and spread it across its surface area to be air cooled. A Fan sink, combine's the heat drawing of it's sink with a dedicated fan blowing air into ore out from the heat sink below it. This will significantly improve the sinks cooling power. So a processor cooler is most likely a Fan sink, but some chips surrounding it may only have a heat sink. ( Southbridge controller is usually placed near your CPU and is fitted with a black block of metal that has a lot of blades on it )
The kind of paste for a computer?
Thermal paste - put between the processor and the heat sink to improve thermal conductivity and make for more efficient heat dispersion.
Do you have to use thermal grease?
Yes, thermal grease is used to improve heat transfer between a CPU and a heat sink by filling in microscopic gaps that air bubbles create. It helps improve the efficiency of cooling systems by facilitating heat dissipation.
What are the benefits of installing a sink and toilet combo in a small bathroom?
Installing a sink and toilet combo in a small bathroom can save space, improve functionality, and create a more streamlined and cohesive design.
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 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.
