Laptop computer designers, audio amplifier makers, and power supply manufacturers can keep their products cooler by following these fundamental heat-sink design equations for natural convection and forced-air cooling. Read More

An aluminum heatsink is a device used with other electrical devices that produce heat to help manage heat production and prevent electronics from overheating. This type of heatsink is often used on the central processing unit (CPU) within a computer. Read More

The copper heatsink is a popular thermal management option among computer customizers because of its capacity to absorb heat relatively quickly. This ability can also be a problem, however, as it tends to hold that heat for a long time. Read More
