Antec CPU Heatsinks

Antec cpu Heatsinks are used to draw the hot air generated by the processor to cool the machine's runtime down. The antec fanless heatsink is fitted between the cpu (Central Processing Unit) and the CPUs fan. The fans power is generated by the main board.

Its main feature is a grid comb made from metal or hard rubber. Antec internal heatsinks are made from excellent thermal conductor type material and will make the cpu last many more years than it not being fitted . The processor fits in to the processor socket, the heatsink and then the fan goes on top of this tightly layered. they have grooves cut in that are supposed to help thermodynamics. They are made of metal usually and can outlast the computers (or at least the motherboards lifetime).

Without a heatsink and fan the motherboard would go on.fire. CPUs used to be measured in megahertz (10 power6 Hz) but since technology has been used and measured in gigahertz (10 power of 9 Hz). The most important thing is HEATSINKS NEED AIR to be effective.

Antec fanless heatsinks are essential when overclocking(running your processor at a faster speed than recommended)your processor whilst Antec water-cooled heatsink gives a environmentally friendly and economic way of maintaining your system.
