FAQ

Why is copper based heat sink better than aluminum based solution?

The short answer to the question is the fact that copper conducts heat better than aluminum. Engineers utilize thermal conductivity (W/m*K) value to measure the effectiveness of a material. In this case, copper has a thermal conductivity of ~401 W/m*K and aluminum is ~237 W/m*K. To put it in perspective, wood has a thermal conductivity value of 0.04 ~ 0.4 W/m*K and concrete is 1.7 W/m*K, that is why wood does not get quiet as hot as concrete on a hot sunny day.

What are the Advantages of heatpipe technology?

Heatpipes are generally small copper tubes filled with a fluid which has a very low boiling point, which enables it to move large quantity of heat with little difference in temperature between "hot" and "cold" interfaces. The fluids within the heatpipe are moved by capillary action. Heatpipe uses this to quickly transfer heat away from the CPU, reducing temperatures considerably while allowing heatsink manufacturers to reduce the weight of the heatsink.It also allows for the heatsink fins to be placed farther away from motherboard components. By placing the fins closer to chassis fans, the exhausted air can be removed from the case more efficiently
