What is an active cooler?
The active cooler refers to the cooler with the means for moving air, usually the fan. This type of Heatsinka usually has a metal component that creates contact with hardware to cool. The metal unit is connected to the fan that pushes hot air from the unit. Most often you can see chips for computer processing chips (CPU) is active Heatsinka the most commonly used type of cooler in personal computers. Since passive coolers do not have a fan or other means to move warm air from the cooler, they are physically larger to make heat from hardware. Some technicians prefer passive coolers because they have a more uniform and predictable heat transfer method than active cooler.
The size of the passive coolers is often prevented from using the standard computer settings. In firmly packed cases, the active cooler is often the only feasibility for adequate CPU cooling. Active coolers are generally lighter than passiveThe coolers that are known to collapse occasionally into the user's computer case when the weight of the passive cooling coins pulls out the screws from its base. Although they have a smaller size, active coolers still require that air to circulate some space around them.
Active coolers are usually installed and removed. The active cooler connects to cooling the CPU chip by connecting to a screwed hardware bed, which allows the radiator to switch on and off for easy hardware maintenance. When installing any cooler, one of the important steps is to apply thermal paste to facilitate the heat conduction between the parts of the CPU chip and the metal focus that comes into contact. Thermal paste can be purchased in small tubes for applications with one installation.
The "active" and "passive" conditions are often used in reference to storage and heat movement. The solar heating is activeThe solar heating system with a fan system, while the passive solar heating system relies on the heat movement without the help of the fan. the heat that makes the house into a house with physical contact
