HEATSINKS USE A THERMAL CONDUCTOR TO REDUCE HEAT GENERATED AND PREVENT OVERHEATING FROM
HARDWARE COMPONENTS LIKE CPU, GPU, NORTHBRIDGE, SOUTHBRIDGE, RAM MODULES, ETC. IN
GENERAL, THAT COMPONENT THAT GENERATES HEAT REQUIRED A HEATSINK.
CPU HAS TO PERFORM A LARGE NUMBER OF TASKS EVERY SECOND. WHILE PERFORMING LARGE TASKS,
IT BEINGS TO GENERATE HEAT AND IF HEAT IS NOT MAINTAINED THEN
THE PROCESSOR WILL DESTROY ITSELF. ALSO AT THE TOP OF THE HEATSINK WILL HAVE A FAN AND
THIS FAN HELPS TO COOL DOWN THE HEAT SINK. THIS IS AIR COOLANT HEATSINK
BUT IN THE MARKET, WE WILL HAVE A LIQUID COOLANT HEATSINK AS WELL GENERALLY USED IN A
HIGH-END GAMING ENVIRONMENT, SERVERS, AND DATACENTER.
