Abstract

The increasing demands for the recently released CPU which has had higher heat density, the confined space of desktop PCs, and so on are the main drive for continuously improving PC cooling systems. In order to meet number of demands, this paper describes the flow and thermal behavior of the heat sink combined with heat pipes, and a fan through the numerical analysis by using the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code and discusses how to extend the cooling capability.
