Big Sale New Cpu Processor Heatsink For Mac

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing i have read on here. A cpu can fry itself in seconds, not even enough time to go into bios and make sure you set a shutdown temperature. Its really not that time consuming to put on a heatsink/fan. Todays processors create so much waste heat that it will only take a few seconds for it to go into thermal shut down.

Running a CPU without a fan and heatsink is a sure fire way to fry your CPU and when it's fried you can argue with Intel all you want but they aren't going to replace it. 'No you can't. If you don't know if your parts are compatible, you need to do more research.' I got it from the source and they don't care to say if it is compatible or not - The source happens to be Intel technical support team!

Big Sale New Cpu Processor Heatsink For Macbook Pro

Who else do you want me to contact? I am doing the research right now by buying the processor and trying it out! Post the part number on here, it should say what it is on the box. If you know the make and model of your motherboard, we'll be able to tell you if they are compatible.

Small Form Factor (2x3) with Intel Q45 and ICH10DO chipset Supports Intel Core™ 2 Duo processor with 2MB, 3MB, 4MB or 6MB L2 cache Supports Intel Core™ 2 Quad processor with 6MB or 12MB L2 cache Supports Intel Celeron® processor with 512KB L2 Cache Supports Intel Celeron® Dual Core processor with 512KB L2 cache Supports Intel Pentium® Dual Core processor with 1MB or 2MB L2 cache So yes it'll work if the lenovo info is correct. I think it will too!

Thanks for your help. I now have to decide if I want to shellout $350! The truth is I don't need it; but would love to have it because it was something that I wanted to have years back. I ponder it tonight and decide upon it in the afternoon. If you just want to test if the motherboard and processor is working, YES you can do that without the heatsink and fan but I suggest you only do it less than a minute.

Second, you would be halted even before the BIOS page because the motherboard will automatically detect if you plugged the CPU FAN in the header, it won't proceed if you don't plug that in there but you can turn the system on and reach that warning I disagree compleatly. I would never apply power to a computer without the fan/heasink in place, PERIOD, not for less than a nimute or a few seconds. It doesn't take a minute for a CPU to overheat and possibly damage the chip; it only takes a few seconds. Like I said I would never power on a computer without the fan/heatsink in place, end of story. I disagree compleatly.

CPUs generate a lot of heat quickly! It would be efficient to figure some way to use this heat productively! Some future Edison will figure it out; I sure! It doesn't take an edison to figure out that heated water = steam = moves electrical generators - electricity - powering computer - inefficient power lines - heat - err wait. What were we talking about again? The amount of thermal energy required to build up enough steam pressure to spin a turbine is immense.

The internal temperatures of boilers reach hundreds of degrees centigrade and the pressure reaches hundreds of PSI. There's no efficient way to condense heat that doesn't involve wasting more energy in the process, so the small amount of thermal energy produced by a CPU would be useless unless it is allowed to build up to the point where it damages the CPU.

I would think that people would get that I was joking about that especially with the smiley face and the mentioning of power lines.

^generating electricity 101 right there.

Hemera/ Though the term heat sink probably isn't one most people think of when they hear the word, it should be. Without heat sinks, modern computers couldn't run at the speeds they do.

Just as you cool down with a cold bottle of Gatorade after a high impact workout, heat sinks cool down your computer's after it runs multiple programs at once. And without a quality heat sink, your computer processor is at risk of overheating, which could destroy your entire system, costing you hundreds, even thousands of dollars. But what exactly is a heat sink and how does it work? Simply put, a heat sink is an object that disperses heat from another object. They're most commonly used in computers, but are also found in, DVD players and even refrigerators. In computers, a heat sink is an attachment for a chip that prevents the chip from overheating and, in modern computers, it's as important as any other component.

If you aren't very tech-savvy, think of the heat sink like a car radiator. The same way a radiator draws heat away from your car's engine, a heat sink draws heat away from your computer's central processing unit (CPU).

The heat sink has a thermal conductor that carries heat away from the CPU into fins that provide a large surface area for the heat to dissipate throughout the rest of the computer, thus cooling both the heat sink and processor. Both a heat sink and a radiator require airflow and, therefore, both have fans built in. Before the 1990s, heat sinks were usually only necessary in large computers where the heat from the processor was a problem. But with the introduction of faster processors, heat sinks became essential in almost every computer because they tended to overheat without the aid of a cooling mechanism.

On the next page we'll take a look at some different types of heat sinks, as well as the scientific principles that explain how they work.
