1. role is to force air through the fins
of the heatsink, increasing airflow
and enhancing heat dissipation.
The movement of air generated by
the fan helps to carry heat away
from the heatsink and CPU more
efficiently.
2. A thermal solution, often referred to as a fan heatsink, is a
component used in a computer system to dissipate heat generated
by the central processing unit (CPU). The primary function of a
thermal solution is to maintain the CPU temperature within safe
operating limits by transferring heat away from the CPU and into
the surrounding environment.
A typical thermal solution consists of two main components:
Heatsink: A heatsink is a passive cooling device typically made of
metal, such as aluminum or copper, with fins or other structures
to increase its surface area. The heatsink is mounted directly on
top of the CPU, and its purpose is to absorb heat from the CPU
and transfer it to the surrounding air.
Fan: A fan is an active cooling device that is mounted on top of or
alongside the heatsink. The fan's role is to force air through the
fins of the heatsink, increasing airflow and enhancing heat
dissipation. The movement of air generated by the fan helps to
carry heat away from the heatsink and CPU more efficiently.
