Do low-power processors need to pay attention to heat dissipation?
The popularity of new processes and low-power processors officially announced that CPUs have entered the energy-saving era. I believe that the vast majority of newly installed users will consider a low-power dual-core processor, because a low-power processor can well solve the problems of local overheating and excessive power. However, if the heat generation is low, can I just find a radiator to match it? There are some problems. I am afraid that many players who have newly installed or intend to upgrade have also thought that the radiator of the low-power processor really does not need to be upgraded. Is it? If you want to upgrade the radiator, how should you choose?
Do low-power processors need to pay attention to heat dissipation?
After the processor has entered the era of low power consumption brought about by the new process technology, the heat generation has been significantly improved, and the original radiator can already meet the general heat dissipation needs. This is undoubtedly good news for the majority of consumers. However, in the dead of night, there are still a group of night owls fighting hard at the computer desk. At this time, the fan sound that doesn't care much during the day sounds like a full noise in a particularly quiet environment, which is particularly obvious on a high-power processor. However, even if you use a low-power processor, if you don't replace the radiator, the original fan will not make a small sound during normal operation. If you want a good mute effect, using the original radiator will definitely not work. Therefore, for special users who have very high requirements for silence, replacing the radiator has become a top priority. Of course, this also includes users who want to build HTPC. After all, you don’t like the sound of a blower when watching movies? Therefore, in the era of low power consumption, we still need to pay attention to the heat dissipation of the processor, but it is not all about performance. More consideration is mute.
Since the low-power dual-core processor does not generate too much heat, and ordinary players will not overclock for a long time, we recommend that users consider a relatively civilian low-noise air-cooled radiator (heat sink + fan air-cooled structure, the most Good temperature control). Because the low-power dual-core processor itself generates relatively low heat, ordinary air-cooled radiators can already meet their heat dissipation requirements and do not need to be upgraded to heat pipe radiators. But if users have strict requirements for heat dissipation (overclockers), then heat pipe radiators or even water-cooled radiators are definitely the best choice, because its performance is stronger than air-cooled radiators in terms of noise and heat dissipation, and of course the cost is also Much higher. Due to the relatively small base of these players, we will not discuss them here today. Instead, we will focus more on the low-end ordinary air-cooled dual-core radiator (non-heat pipe) market to meet the needs of most users.
