The Sandia Cooler CPU Fan |
The Sandia Cooler is a unique heat sink for a computer processor in that comes with its own spinning cooler integrated into the heat sink. When used, the Sandia Cooler is placed a thousandth of an inch above the processor with nodirect contact. This creates n air bearing that protects the processor from vibrations that might be comingfrom the Sandia Cooler but is also jus as efficient in transmitting heat from the processor to the device.
The Sandia Cooler is a unique device because its own cooling fan that can quickly dissipate the heat from building up on the processor and send it way. This method allow The Sandia Cooler to become more effective in cooling down the processor for up to 30 time than current heat sinks and cooling system for its size in the market. Because of its efficiency in cooling CPU's, the Sandia Cooler may someday become standard equipment inside future computer units. But for nw, Sandia National Laboratories is currently trying to market technology in order to find a suitable manufacturer for it.
