Server Heat Sink Thermal Solution

But what exactly is a best heat sink and how does it work? Simply put, a heat sink is an object that disperses heat from another object. They're most commonly used in server, but are also found in cell phones, DVD players and even refrigerators. In server, a heat sink is an attachment for a chip that prevents the chip from overheating and, in modern computers, it's as important as any other component.

If you aren't very tech-savvy, think of the heat sink like a car radiator. The same way a radiator draws heat away from your car's engine, a heat sink draws heat away from your computer's central processing unit (CPU). The heat sink has a thermal conductor that carries heat away from the CPU into fins that provide a large surface area for the heat to dissipate throughout the rest of the computer, thus cooling both the heat sink and processor. Both a heat sink and a radiator require airflow and, therefore, both have fans built in.

Pioneer Thermal can suplly the server heat sink according to customer's requirements, with the goal of providing advanced thermal engineering and design services to customers.
