CPU heat sinks can be divided into air cooling, heat pipe and water cooling according to their heat dissipation methods.
Air-cooled radiator This is the most common type of radiator and consists of a cooling fan and a heat sink. The principle is to transfer the heat generated by the CPU to the heat sink, and then the heat is taken away by the fan. It should be noted that different types and specifications of cpus use different heat sinks, for example, AMD cpus and Intel cpus use different heat sinks, Intel 478 pin cpus and Intel 775 pin cpus use different heat sinks
Heat pipe radiator is a heat transfer element with very high thermal conductivity, which transfers heat through the evaporation and condensation of liquid in a completely closed vacuum tube. Most of these fans are "air-cooled + heat pipe", which has the advantages of both air-cooled and heat pipe, and has extremely high heat dissipation.
Water-cooled radiator is the use of liquid forced circulation under the drive of the pump to take away the heat of the radiator, compared with air cooling has quiet, stable cooling, small dependence on the environment and so on.
