Product Description
Product Description
- High heatsink surface: the surface of the heatsink where the thermal transfer takes place
- Heatsinks should be designed to have a large surface, this goal can be reached by using a large amount of fine fins or by increasing the size of the heatsink itself
- Good aerodynamics: heatsinks must be designed in a way that air can easily and quickly float through the cooler and reach all cooling fins
- Especially heatsinks having a very large amount of fine fins, with small distances between the fins may not allow good air flow
- Compromises between high surface (many fins with small gaps between them) and good aerodynamics
- Also depends on the fan the heatsink is used
- A powerful fan can force air even through a heatsink with lots of fine fins with only small gaps for air flow, whereas on a passive heatsink, there should be fewer cooling fins with more space between them
- Simply adding a fan to a large heatsink designed for fanless usage doesn't necessarily result in a good cooler
- Good thermal transfer within the heatsink
- Large cooling fins are pointless if the heat can't reach them, so the heatsink must be designed to allow good thermal transfer from the heat source to the fins
- Thicker fins have better thermal conductivity, compromises between high surface (many thin fins) and good thermal transfer (thicker fins) must be found
- Materials used has a major influence on thermal transfer within the heatsink
- Sometimes the heat pipes are used to lead the heat from the heat source to the parts of the fins that are further away from the heat source
- Perfect flatness of the contact area
- The part of the heatsink that is in contact with the heat source must be perfectly flat
- A flat contact area allows you to use a thinner layer of thermal compound, which will reduce the thermal resistance between heatsink and heat source
- Good mounting method, for good thermal transfer, the pressure between heatsink and heat source must be high
- Heatsink clips must be designed to provide a strong pressure, while still being reasonably easy to install
- Heatsink mountings with screws/springs are often better than regular clips
- Thermo-conductive glue or sticky tape should only be used in situations where mounting with clips or screws aren't possible
