How to Choose An Air-cooled Heat Sink

Air-cooled heat sink is a common type of heat sink that uses air flow to reduce the temperature of electronic equipment to ensure the stability and performance of the equipment.Compared with water-cooled heat sink, air-cooled heat sink are simpler and easier to use, do not require complex pipelines and water pump systems, and are very low cost.In the field of heat dissipation of electronic equipment, air-cooled heat sink occupy an important position. Whether it is desktop computers, laptops, servers, etc., air-cooled heat sink can be used to effectively cool down.So how to choose an air-cooled heat sink?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
1. Fan power
Generally speaking, the higher the power of the fan, the greater the wind it blows out and the better the heat dissipation effect. However, this does not always emphasize high power. Excessive power may not only greatly reduce the heat dissipation effect, but also It may increase the operating load of the computer, thereby shortening the service life of the computer and heat sink.Just choose one with moderate power when purchasing.
2. Fan noise
This is also one of the most common problems when we use heat sink. In addition to problems with the performance of the fan itself, it is also possible that the fan is not installed correctly or the axis is loose.During the purchase process, we need to check whether the fan is installed correctly and whether the quality is acceptable.
3. Material of heat sink
The air-cooled heat sinks are generally made of aluminum alloy. This is because aluminum alloy has the advantages of easy processing and low cost. However, if the connection is not good, the heat dissipation effect will be reduced.
