A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature at optimal levels.
Heat sink. A heat sink is an electronic device that incorporates either a fan or a peltier device to keep a hot component such as a processor cool. There are two heat sink types: active and passive. Active heat sinks utilize power and are usually a fan type or some other peltier cooling device. If you are looking to purchase an active heat sink, it is recommended that you purchase fans with ball-bearing motors that often last much longer than sleeve bearings.
