Linus, good job explaining what a heatsink is in an easy-to-understand way. I knew most of this already, but I was thinking wrong about what thermal paste does. I just thought it helps to conduct heat better, but didn't think about why it did this. I guess it makes sense that two metals almost never make 100% legit contact evenly.
This just reminds me of a conversation I overheard between a customer and colleague when I was working in best buy many many years ago.... The customer was trying to haggle the price down with the agent, even going so far as to say that if the heatsink was removed, would they be able to lower the cost by a few bucks. It makes me glad that you post these sorts of vids Linus, because sadly there are folks out there that simply don't get it.
Three things you might want to add 1)You mention speed of airflow without mentioning volume of airflow and how faster active cooling doesn't always equal faster cooling airflow 2)The blocking of cooling surface from dust et al lowers cooling and if it gets bad enough actually acts as an insulator to heat up what is being cooled. 3)I think you should touch on Water Cooling/Remote Heatsinks since they are becoming so common with the sealed units.
there are actually many many Linus's, the proper pluralisation being Linusi..that is how he is in so many places at one time NCIX has hangers full of backup Linus models to be deployed at a moments notice.
About those materials. I'm not a genius, just got this info from my friends, so please take this with a grain of salt. Copper is great at conducting heat, but not great at removing heat from itself. (i.e: cooling down) Aluminium is more or less the opposite, being worse at conducting heat, but very good at removing heat from itself. This is the reason why heatpipes are copper, they are there to remove heat from the nearby component, but after the heat is removed from said component, there's not a big rush to move the heat to the attached heatsink, which is aluminium because it can move heat to the surrounding air much faster.
Actually is copper better then aluminum when it comes to transfering heat. Dissapating is about the same and we have aluminum heatsink because it is cheaper
www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/187162-Does-aluminum-dissipate-heat-better-than-copper - Just read what the experts are saying, I am just some random guy with a keyboard.
God damn it. A unibrow is when the space between the eyebrows has as much hair as the eyebrow area itself. I always see people calling a little bit hair a unibrow, but it is infact incorrect.
EmmaCross94 voltage(volts) = current(amps/ampere) X resistance(ohms) wattage(watts/power) = voltage X current current = voltage divided by resistance resistance = voltage divided by current. Current is known as electrical potential, whilst voltage and can be loosely termed as 'electrical pressure.' ie: the voltage 'pushes' the current from the source (battery/outlet/distribution grid) to the appliance. If you need more explaining just google "ohm's law." Source: I'm a sparky :D
***** One thing I'd like to see is power factor explained in simple terms (I understand it but I bet a lot of people don't) - the weird crap that happens when you pull current constantly from an AC source, but AC has zero voltage during parts of the cycle and that voltage makes it really hard to constantly draw current.
Thanks for putting the adds at the end of the video so we dont have to watch them even though you can skip through them regardless. Puting them at the end makes everyone happy. You get paid and we dont have to watch them as soon as we see the add pop up we know the videos over. Good video as usual.
Yah how long does it take for the fans to really lose performance on dust? Because in my house there is a 2.5 year old laptop without ever cleaning the fans ever (btw the pc is still running decent speed)
Tim Brandt Corstius Your point being? Are you really going to argue that a heat sink's cooling fins being clogged with dust and grime isn't going to have an impact on the heat sink's performance?
Tim Brandt Corstius Depends on where you live. Some areas have way more problems with dust. A heat sink works because the air that flows through the fins picks up heat and takes it away from the heat sink. If the fins are clogged, air can't flow through the heat sink as well resulting in lower heat sink performance. Ergo: hour heat sink can never be too clean.
Thank you for your wonderful content! It is clearer and you are more engaging than any other presenter I have researched. My instructor at San Diego City College has a ton of your content as part of our instruction resources, gratefully.

The problem with Arctic Silver is that it takes eons until it cures. For the first many hours of operation the temps are not pretty, but they get much, much better over time. Designated curing time is something like 200 hours with multiple cycles ...
also hardening the smallest heatspreaders on my GPU cooler took ages (I mean ages, instead of a regular 30mins to an hour, they took 6 hours to harden) on arctic silver
+Zvone_ Blow cold air into it. The hot air isn't the issue, the temperature of the heat sink is. So blowing cold air onto in helps more than taking the slightly-higher-in-temperature-air around it out.
+Thomas Shepherd The XBOX 360 and One has heatsinks and fans... But the heatsinks fans on the CPU is sucking air not blowing air into it... Does it help colling or not than a PC????
fans are not just good for blowing air INTO heatsinks, but also a bit more effective when blowing outward from the sink thus the "cool" air dont have to travel across the fan itself which heats it a bit caused by friction. also heatpipes mostly consist distilled water, so dont think of a space-grade material there. another way to cool a computer case more is to investigate the flow of air from the entry point till the exit point of the case, because many fans are set to blow inside the box and in many constructions the hot air is just have to find it's way and not pulled out of the case, more so the fact that higher temperature air is lighter than cold air thus it travels upwards whenever possible. and to not only speak about PC's in laptops a key reason of many overheating is the fact that plugging you laptop into the charge creates heat in the battery too, and the small fans are not really designed to take away that heat-so either buy a cooling pad under(or even build one because it's way cheaper) or use your laptop from battery and recharge it when it's off. a couple more minutes filled with such effective support is better than that advertisement at the end...remember-quality is profitable.
in one way or another they are not. but i guess they already talked a bit about water cooling in the h110 but they still deserve a more in depth look. maybe a custom water cooling tech quickie
boywhogames Heatsinks don't have to be [actively] air cooled. There, I fixed it for ya :) The heatsink is surrounded by and dissipate heat into the air and thus are air cooled.
Bla Blurybla By definition, a heat sink doesn't have to be air cooled. The definition of a heat sink, is a heat exchange device to cool by dissipating heat into a medium. its just so happens, that 99.9% of all people use air as the medium. but water can still be used (just stick open end of the sink into a large body of water like a lake. On a slightly more practical note, you heat sinks don't use air if they are oil immersion pcs :)
See username, but it's because of where I had to stuff the tower (in the corner so airflow sucks). It's not a problem during the winter with temps like 20C right now.
Derp! Surprised I missed that... I live just over the river in Omaha! It does get pretty toasty in these parts but I've never had an issue with overheating on the i3-4130 HTPC build I have tucked away into a TV stand.
Wouldn't go with an FX chip with the stock cooler. Just got a 8150 in my brothers build and I had to clock it down to 2.5 Ghz to get resonable sound levels. As for Intel, you can usualy get away with the stock cooler on anything 4770 and below (see brix pro) and I think that alone is woth spending the small premium.

You should do more of these videos. You teach very well and you will make it very easy for people to learn about pc components. Ty for the awesome video
wont make hardly any difference running stock speeds, slightly cooler, now if your going to overclock alot yeah of course buy one.I use the coolermaster hyper n520 cause my cores are overclocked by 700 mhz.Buying a aftermarket cooler like mine but running stock clocks your just wasting money.Also you need a good sized ATX case to fit after market heat piped coolers.They guy says their easy to install but its not just a open the case and quickly replace. you have to completely take out the motherboard, flip it upside down undo every bracket that was holding the other heat sink holder in, then if your by yourself you have to find the correct bracket included in the package carefully screw it in with the motherboard flipped up with pretty much 1 hand while holding the heatsink with the other hand. and hopefully it clears your ram and your video card.Its not like unclip one and clip the other one in like stock coolers are.Its a full installation
***** kinda missed my point if your talking to me. I build computers and do this all the time and liquid systems.I use the phenom ii x6 1100t and my temps are close to yours except my max temps are 39C but idle is identical. thats at 4.0ghz any higher and its not stable even with higher voltages. stock mine is 3.3ghz
I was wondering if you could do a As Fast As Possible on water cooling on graphics cards and what kinds there are and what are the ups and downs of all the differences. Thanks Linus and Slick for all the help :)
RogueCoder The heat sink in a water cooling system is the radiator, not the block. The block and water act as the copper mount and heat pipe whereas the rad is the heat sink.
Linus I LEARN EVERYTIME WATCH 1 OF YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS CLEAR AND HELPFUL BUT THE EXTRA INFO YOU TOSS IN HELPS SO MUCH SUCKS BEING A NEWBIE BUT DAM GLAD I FOUND YOU.ROCK ON BROTHER shoot sorry 4 yelling
Ummm, seeing at the water in the loop is basically the sink, and the fins on your radiator serve the same purpose as the fins on a heatsink... You're basically using a more complex heatsink...
personally what i think helps is taking out a front cover panel and getting a cross breeze in there, ps have a back fan as the item pushing in to stop dust from going in
Maybe you guys can make a video for New Computer Build Check List as Fast as Possible. Listing things like fan converters/extensions/splitters for cases without fan controllers/short cords/not enough motherboard controllers. Or where and how to check compatibility for all your parts, and whatever else needs to be crammed in to know what to do. Maybe even have links to your other videos when appropriate.
Please stop with all the annotations/subtitles poping up randomly. Unless it's about numbers (Bits & Bytes and Ethernet speeds Techquickies). It's so distracting that I find myself just listening to and not watching the video.
You baited us, now I want to see a video explaining how search rankings work "As Fast As Possible". I'm serious. I think it would be a great idea for a video. :)
Hey I got the message, all what you said was very important keep going, I found all you were teaching very usefull and it help me remember what I learned. Thanks
When he said "and as always..." I was seriously expecting him to say "thanks for watching". Too much VSauce. Fuck am I talking about? No such thing as too much VSauce. Linus should go on a future episode. He's awesome enough.
lol. some basic principles I think motherboard makers forgot about for cooling VRMs of late. It's sad when a channel like this gets that surface area is important and they apparently don't. A fish has more fins than most modern VRM fashion accessories, lol. Great vid Linus and crew. B)
So, when will there be a water block video? Will there be a comparison between water vs air cooling? These are things that seem to be look over many times but are VERY important. I just don't know enough. Please do videos on them.
Stripped 3 pc's today cleaned them and put new thermal paste easily doubled the performance and cost me Less than 7 $. Plus got more than half the tube left.

You really didn't know that? Are you proud that you discovered that common fact about this site?
I like the fact that you went thru each type of heatsink and what to be aware of very informative thank you
Could you do an AFAP about power, more specifically voltage and watts? You seem to know a bit about that.
EmmaCross94 voltage(volts) = current(amps/ampere) X resistance(ohms)
wattage(watts/power) = voltage X current
current = voltage divided by resistance
resistance = voltage divided by current.
Current is known as electrical potential, whilst voltage and can be loosely termed as 'electrical pressure.' ie: the voltage 'pushes' the current from the source (battery/outlet/distribution grid) to the appliance.
If you need more explaining just google "ohm's law."

Wolfstanus I like pie
I don't think they are too annoying.
They could however be smaller so they don't cover half of the screen.
You baited us, now I want to see a video explaining how search rankings work "As Fast As Possible".
I'm serious. I think it would be a great idea for a video. :)
Excellent explanation and I;m sure it couldnt have been done faster. lol. Good job. I had to rewind a couple of times but fantastic.
Wow - a lot of detail! Very interesting.
Yay! I am helping Linus's research ranking
Hey I got the message, all what you said was very important keep going, I found all you were teaching very usefull and it help me remember what I learned. Thanks
Very helpful and clearly stated. Thank you!
4:41 just bought me I'm in the UK and the fact that shows that aren't availible here but in the US really pisses me off
Great Video Linus! I didn't Learn Much, But it was very well put together
Thank you for expanding my limited knowledge about heat sinks.
I love this series...
Love these videos Linus. Thanks
When he said "and as always..." I was seriously expecting him to say "thanks for watching". Too much VSauce.
Fuck am I talking about? No such thing as too much VSauce. Linus should go on a future episode. He's awesome enough.
One thing you forgot to mention is dust. cleaning the dust out of your heat sinks fins will give a noticeable boost in performance.
very complete guide thanks linus!
Here's what a heatsink is as fast as possible: Object that dissipates heat from another object.
lol. some basic principles I think motherboard makers forgot about for cooling VRMs of late. It's sad when a channel like this gets that surface area is important and they apparently don't. A fish has more fins than most modern VRM fashion accessories, lol.
Great vid Linus and crew. B)
This is the only youtuber that says
"dislike it if you dislike it"
I love computers and computer exessories. I'm like Hank Hill to proppane but with computers.
commenting to improve your search rating cause you were honest.
So, when will there be a water block video? Will there be a comparison between water vs air cooling? These are things that seem to be look over many times but are VERY important. I just don't know enough. Please do videos on them.
I liked the explanation of the vapour pipes best but a more in depth explanation would be awesome.
linus plz tell me u got them brows done boy, hopefully they on fleek now
Stripped 3 pc's today cleaned them and put new thermal paste easily doubled the performance and cost me Less than 7 $. Plus got more than half the tube left.
Someday, he might start a dedicated "Commercial channel" with a technical tip in the end of the videos.
Hey, thanks for explaining why youtubers are always begging for us to leave comments For that, here you go.
