What is the difference between different types of radiators in computers?

1, heat sink and air cooling.

In practice, the heat sink and air cooling often have to work side by side. The heat sink is responsible for conducting heat, spreading the concentrated heat to itself, and rotating the fan to take the heat away. The heat dissipation capability of the heat sink is mainly determined by the thermal conductivity of the material and the area of the heat sink that contacts the air.

2. Semiconductor heat sink and water cooling.

The heat dissipation capability of the semiconductor heat sink is very strong, but the more the cooling effect is, the higher the heat temperature on the reverse side is, which causes a large amount of heat to be cramped in the small space of the chassis, and the temperature difference between the front and the back is too large, which causes condensation, so it is used. Semiconductor heat sinks are often also water cooled.
