            • heat sink
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • A heat sink is a metal base or plate onto which one or more components are mounted to absorb, carry away, or radiate the heat generated by the component(s). Heat sinks are generally made of an aluminum alloy and often have fins. All computers require a heat sink. Some also require a fan. A heat sink without a fan is called a passive heat sink; a heat sink with a fan is called an active heat sink. Network Dictionary
          • Example sentence(s)
            • The heat sink is secured to a printed circuit board with at least one heat generating component through the fixing portion of the base. The heat sink is improved by forming one or more slots at lateral sides of the base such that one or more deformable portions can be defined on the base. - Free Patents Online by
            • Heatsinks must be designed in a way that air can easily and quickly float through the cooler, and reach all cooling fins. Especially heatsinks having a very large amount of fine fins, with small distances between the fins may not allow good air flow. A compromise between high surface (many fins with small gaps between them) and good aerodynamics must be found. - The Heatsink Guide by
            • If your chip surpasses a certain temperature, it will fail and cease to operate. Finding a heat sink will be vital to keeping the chip humming and performing as it was meant to. - eHow.com by

            • теплоотвод
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Теплоотвод - металлическое основание, служащее для отвода тепла от различных компонентов. Обычно имеет ребра для более эффективного отвода тепла. Часто на них ставится вентилятор для еще более активного отвода тепла. Такой теплоотвод называется активным, а без вентилятора - пассивным. Own research - by Igor Savenkov
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Если на вашей видеокарте сгорел кулер, то VGA5314 будет неплохой заменой. Возможность работать при 5В может быть ценным качеством: даже в этом режиме VGA5314 будет работать лучше, чем пассивный теплоотвод на северном мосту, а вентилятор на такой скорости будет работать практически вечно. - 3DNews by Igor Savenkov
            • Dual Cooling - система включает в себя активный теплоотвод модуля DPVRM и активный теплоотвод для микросхемы "северного моста" чипсета. - Overclockers by Igor Savenkov
            • Многие современные процессоры во время работы разогреваются так, что обычный пассивный теплоотвод не может их охладить. - Электроник by Igor Savenkov

            • hladnjak
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Hladnjak je uređaj koji upija i odaje toplotu koju stvara električna komponenta, kao što je integrisano kolo, sa ciljem sprečavanja pregrevanja. Obično je napravljen od metala i često ima krilca koja doprinose prenošenju toplote u atmosferu Own research - by Milan Djukić
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Hladnjak Kako bi se iskoristilo što više od limitirane površine, hladnjak pokriva celokupnu gornju površinu pojačala. Proizveden je od bloka aluminijuma težine 10 Kg. a posle završne obrade njegova težina reducirana je na samo 3.5 Kg.! - BM by Milan Djukić
            • Postoji nekoliko sistema hlađenja od kojih je ubedljivo najpopularnija kombinacija hladnjaka i ventilatora, „Heat Sink Fan”. Kod nas se to najčešće naziva „kuler”. Naziv jeste pomalo ružan, međutim, daleko je ispravniji nego samo „hladnjak” ili „ventilator”, jer se kuler sastoji od oba ta dela. Spire: FridgeRock, SuperRock, 5E32B3, CopperKing II, CopperBase Da bi dobro odvodio disipiranu toplotu (opet, pogrešno je reći hladiti jer to nije ono što HSF radi) potrebno je i da hladnjak i ventilator budu „na visini zadatka”. Kako je hladnjak taj koji naleže direktno na jezgro procesora bitno je da je osnova od što kvalitetnijeg materijala koji dobro „prima” toplotu, u praksi to se svodi na izbor neke legure aluminijuma ili bakra. - Svet kompjutera by Milan Djukić
            • Još jedan od aspekata na koji treba obratiti naročitu pažnju odnosi se na karakteristike postojećeg ventilatora (cooling fan) i hladnjaka (heat sink). - eKnjižara by Milan Djukić
