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 purpose of heat sink installed on a processor?
To cool the processor
Is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor at its base pull the heat away from the processor?
heat sink
Benefit of heat sinks in CPU?
It keeps your processor from melting. Do not run a PC without a heat sink on your processor. Processors can get to extremley high temperatures. The heat sink absorbs this heat and removes it using a fan.
What is the purpose of the copper or aluminum between a processor and the fan on a computer motherboard?
The heat sink absorbs the heat from the processor and then the fan disperses the heat.
Is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor?
Heat sink
What Device Helps Move Heat Away From A Processor?
A heat sink is a device commonly used to help move heat away from a processor. It consists of metal fins that absorb and dissipate heat generated by the processor through conduction and convection. In some cases, a fan is attached to the heat sink to enhance heat dissipation.
The cooler sits on top of the processor and consists of a fan and a heat?

When you buy i5 do you get a heat sink with it?
If you buy a retail boxed processor, yes. You do get a heatsink fan (HSF) with the processor.
What are the main functions of heat sink?
The main purpose of a heat sink is to expel heat from a generating source. Heat sinks work through the process of conductive and convection heat transfer. Heat sinks are a passive form of cooling, as they have no moving parts and require no power.
Who are the removable components in motherboard?
Processor, RAM, daughter cards, CMOS, Heat sink
How does a processor liberate heat?
Most computer processors liberate heat by mounting a metallic heat sink and fan on the processor itself. Gamers' systems may however feature liquid cooling.
