6G Heat Sink Solution

Date:2024-11-11 

6G heat sink may refer to a heat sink used for 6GB video memory graphics cards or related devices. Here are some common 6G heat sink types and features.
6G heat sink solution

Air-cooled Heat Sink
Principle: The fan rotates to drive the air flow to take away the heat generated by the graphics card or device. This heat dissipation method has a relatively simple structure and low cost, and is a more common type of heat sink.
Features: Air-cooled heat sinks usually consist of heat sinks and fans. The heat sink is generally made of aluminum or copper, has good thermal conductivity, and can quickly absorb the heat generated by the device; the fan speed and air volume will affect the heat dissipation effect. Some high-end air-cooled radiators will be equipped with multiple fans to provide better heat dissipation performance. For example, the "Wind Power" radiator used by Gigabyte AORUS GTX1060 6G uses a dual-array heat dissipation module and 3 8cm diameter "3D active fans", which can effectively reduce the temperature of the graphics card.
Heat Pipe Heat Sink
Principle: The phase change process of the working medium in the heat pipe evaporating at the hot end and condensing at the cold end is used to achieve rapid heat transfer. Heat pipes have extremely high thermal conductivity and can quickly transfer heat from the heat source to the heat sink, and then dissipate the heat through the fan.
Features: The heat dissipation effect of this radiator is better than that of ordinary air-cooled radiators, and it also performs well in terms of quietness. For example, the radiator of Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2060 Xtreme 6G uses 4 soft magnetic powder composite heat pipes, combining the traditional groove type and powder sintering type heat pipe structures, which greatly improves the heat dissipation performance.
Water-cooled Heat Sink
Principle: The heat generated by the device is taken away through the circulation of water. The water-cooled heat sink is mainly composed of water cooling head, water pump, water tank, water pipe and radiator. The water cooling head is in close contact with the heat-generating components of the device, transferring heat to the water inside. The water pump drives the water to circulate in the system. When the water passes through the radiator, the heat is dissipated into the air.
Features: The heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled radiator is very high, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the device and has low noise during operation. However, the price of water cooling heat sink is relatively high, and the installation is also complicated, requiring certain skills and experience.
In addition, different brands and models of 6G graphics cards may use different heat sink designs to meet the cooling needs of the graphics card. 6G heat sink solution manufacturer - Pioneer Thermal, when choosing a 6G heat sink from us, you need to consider the specific model of the device, the cooling needs, and personal budget.
