How Heat Sink Compound Keeps Electronics Cool
What is heat sink compound? Heat sink compound is a sticky paste that is used as an interface between CPU heat sinks and heat sources. What is the purpose of heat sink compounds? Heat sink compound is used to bridge any spaces between the CPU (central processing unit) or other heat-producing elements and the physical heat sink. This heat sink, constructed from conductive metal, is passively positioned above the CPU. Heat is transferred from the CPU to the heat sink, which then disperses it through its fins, allowing a fan... Read more...
