Heat Sink Types for Computers
Heat sinks work by dispersing heat in computers, by carrying the heat away from the central processing unit into fins that provide a large surface area for the heat to dissipate throughout the rest of the computer. Heat sinks regulate temperature, providing better performance. We manufacture two heat sink types: radial heat sinks and pin fin heat sinks.
