CoolClouds, Inc. has announced the availability of a new class of heat sinks for use in high performance computers or extreme environments starting mid-Q1 2014. According to the company, SuprCool-PC is the first “in-chassis” heat sink to cool more than 300w in the latest Intel and AMD processors without hot spots at 65°C case temperature in 25°C ambient. Comparable in size to … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts & Fairy Tales: How Useful Are Heat Sink Correlations for Design Purposes?
Clemens J.M. Lasance Guest Editor, Philips Research Emeritus, Consultant at SomelikeitCool I assume everybody agrees with the fact that it is pointless to devote precious space in this magazine to highlight again all problems related to thermal management of electronic products and systems, so let’s start right away. An important way of reducing the temperature in an optimal … [Read more...]

Technique Combines Heat Sinks for More Effective Cooling
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new two-phase technique they say is up to 50 percent more effective in cooling electronic systems compared to current cooling technology. Led by Lee Poh Seng, Ph.D., of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NUS, the team combined microgap and stepped fin microchannel heat sinks to create a two-phase … [Read more...]
Heat Sink Watch Helps Wearer Manage Body Temperature
Four engineering students at MIT have developed a thermoelectric bracelet designed to help wearers maintain a comfortable body temperature. Resembling a wristwatch, the invention, known as Wristify, monitors air and skin temperature and sends pulses of hot or cold waveforms to the wrist when needed to help the wearer maintain thermal comfort. A custom copper-alloy-based heat … [Read more...]
