What's Disadvantages of Heat Sink, and How to Improve?

Date:2023-09-12 

Disadvantages of Heat Sink
1. Noisy
The heat sink will produce noise when working, especially when the fan speed is fast, the noise will be more obvious. This brings a lot of trouble to users.
2. Large size
Since the heat sink requires a larger heat dissipation area and internal space, it is larger in size and is not conducive to the overall compact design of the device.
3. Low heat dissipation efficiency
Some radiators are not very efficient at dissipating heat. This will cause electronic equipment to easily heat up after high load or long-term use, affecting the stability and life of the equipment.

Improvement methods
1. Optimize heat sink design
By improving the heat sink air duct design, adding heat dissipation fins, and using high thermal conductivity materials, the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator can be improved and the noise level can be reduced.
2. Use thermal glue Thermal glue is a material with good thermal conductivity that can be filled between the radiator and the chip to increase heat transfer efficiency, reduce temperature, and improve the stability of the device.
3. Replace the heat sink
Some high-performance electronic devices have heat sinks that are not very efficient and require replacement of the heat sink. Choosing an efficient radiator that meets the equipment parameter requirements can improve the performance and stability of the equipment. 4. Use water cooling solution
The water cooling solution can effectively reduce noise and volume, and has higher heat dissipation efficiency. However, water-cooling solutions consume relatively large amounts of energy and cost, and require the installation of components such as water-cooling heads and water pumps.
