Classification Of CPU Radiator

The CPU radiator can be divided into three types: air cooling, heat pipe and water cooling according to its heat dissipation mode.

Air-cooled radiator

Air-cooled radiator This is the most common type of radiator, including a cooling fan and a heat sink. The principle is to transfer the heat generated by the CPU to the heat sink, and then take the heat away through the fan. It should be noted that different types and specifications of CPU use different heat sinks. For example, AMD CPUs and Intel CPUs use different heat sinks. Intel 478-pin CPUs use different heat sinks and Intel 775-pin CPUs. .

Heat pipe radiator

The heat pipe radiator is a heat transfer element with extremely high thermal conductivity. It transfers heat through the evaporation and condensation of the liquid in the fully enclosed vacuum tube. Most of these fans are "air-cooled + heat pipe", with the advantages of both air-cooling and heat pipe, and have extremely high heat dissipation.

Water cooling radiator

The water-cooled radiator uses liquid to forcefully circulate under the drive of a pump to take away the heat of the radiator. Compared with air-cooling, it has the advantages of quietness, stable cooling, and less dependence on the environment.
