Passive Heat Sinks


Heat sinks are mainly classified into two categories based on their working principles: active heat sinks and passive heat sinks. The active radiator forces and accelerates the air flow through an external energy source (usually a fan), thereby quickly removing heat. Passive heat sinks, on the other hand, rely on the principles of natural convection and thermal radiation to achieve heat dissipation without the need for additional energy. These two technologies each have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different scenarios and requirements.

Active heat sinks are widely used in electronic devices with high heat generation, such as high-performance cpus, Gpus, and game consoles. Active Heat Sinks the latest innovations mainly focus on two aspects: "Materials science" and "intelligent control". With the increase in chip size (expanding from the traditional 30mm×30mm to 60mm×60mm and above).

The core of passive heat sinks lies in maximizing the heat dissipation surface area and optimizing the heat conduction path. The greatest advantage lies in its completely silent and maintenance-free characteristics. It is particularly suitable for noise-sensitive environments, such as recording studios, home theaters, medical equipment and office Spaces, etc.
