When building computers many users want them to be powerful and fast. Overclocking means you run your computer faster than the intended speed. This causes a lot of heat and is where the use of heatsinks comes in. A heatsink is something that you attach to parts like CPUs and GPUs to cool them down. Out of the materials that are used for heatsinks, copper is the best.
Why Copper Heatsinks offer Superior Overclocking Performance?
The reason that copper heatsinks are superior is because of their great heat pulling capabilities. It's extremely important in overclocking for the heat from the computer part to be pulled away because running faster creates loads of extra heat. Copper is a lot better at conducting heat than materials such as aluminum so when the computer is working hard and the part generates heat, the heatsink is able to pull the heat away much quicker so it does not get too hot. This therefore prevents the computer from overheating. For example if you have a gaming computer that has been overclocked it can get very hot, if you have a copper Heat sink Material this will pull away heat and prevent your computer from being too hot. By doing this it not only stops the computer crashing or overheating but can keep components for lasting longer. By having your computer cool it does not require the CPU or GPU to slow down when the temperature exceeds a certain amount, as you would not expect a computer overheating to last a very long time at top speed. By running the computer at high speeds on a copper heatsink users have also claimed their computers are able to run at faster speeds.
Copper heatsinks also have great characteristics for molding into shape which means that us at Remgar are able to produce computer components which would fit perfect on each specific computer model. Good fitting allows for better contact between the computer part and the heatsink thus enabling more heat to be conducted away from the part, meaning you can gain a better overclock.
Why Copper Heatsinks are Essential for High-Performance Builds?
For any high-performance computer the quality of components that go inside it are all important. The quality of the CPU can play a big part but without proper cooling from the heatsink, no high performance can be gained as all parts would eventually stop functioning due to overheating. The temperature generated from all of the high-performance parts would simply lead to crashes and poor operation. A good heatsink means your components will last for a much longer time, so when you buy a high-performance build and invest lots of money into it, you are not going to want to buy a new one every few months, or for your parts to be broken due to a poorly cooled computer. The use of good quality copper tube heat sink such as Remgars, can increase the longevity of computer parts and therefore increase the lifespan of the high-performance computer you have spent so much on.
Many gamers or tech enthusiast's see a major improvement in the speeds of their computer when they fit a new, higher quality heatsink. This can sometimes mean the difference between laggy gameplay with slow frames, and perfectly smooth frames and gameplay. The construction quality of the heatsink is also generally good for copper, copper is more durable than aluminum so can endure the stress placed upon it for high-performance computer tasks better. We manufacture these heatsinks to maintain quality, the user does not want to spend a lot of money on a high-performance computer, and then buy a cheap heatsink, so we manufacture heatsinks that not only work well but last well too. Therefore to get a high-performance build, a high-quality copper heatsink is of major importance.
Improving Stability during Overclocking
Making a computer overclocked helps the games or programs you are using, but it also creates excess heat. To combat this you need a good heatsink, a heatsink is a metal block that clips onto your CPU (the brain of your computer). When a CPU is overclocked it gets extremely hot, this heatsink absorbs the heat and prevents the computer from slowing down, crashing, or breaking. Remgar has produced excellent heatsinks that have good conductivity and excellent thermal conductivity. The heat is pulled away from the CPU and dissipated through the metal parts of the heatsink so it can keep the system stable, no crashes or stuttering. As the heatsink pulls away the heat from the CPU so it is always kept at safe temperatures allowing your games and programs to run smoothly. This stability is what the user wants so their computer is reliable.
The Temperature drops achievable using Copper Heatsinks
The drops that are generally expected from a quality copper heatsink such as from Remgar could be as high as 10-20 degrees Celsius compared to a normal heatsink. This is vital for overclocking and it can prevent a computer CPU reaching damaging temperatures. The average temperature of an overclocked system can reach 90 degrees Celsius, however, with a copper heatsink this temperature could be reduced to only 70-80 degrees Celsius.
How to Get the Most out of Overclocking with Quality Copper Heatsinks?
There are a few key points to making sure that you gain the most from your overclock with a copper heatsink. The heatsink must be the correct size to cover the entire CPU chip so it is effective. The heatsink must have good airflow across its fins. This is why we attach large fans, it means the metal cools down rapidly. Ensure that a suitable thermal paste is used as this helps transfer heat from the CPU chip to the copper heatsink, if the user wants a good overclock it is important that they use the paste sparingly as if too much is used it will simply not conduct the heat as well.
Once the heatsink is fitted, ensure that the clip/ mounting mechanism is firmly secured to make good contact with the CPU chip and that the thermal paste is evenly spread. Keeping an eye on the temperatures displayed is also essential when you first overclock, if the temperatures are not at a satisfactory level, check that you have good airflow within the entire computer case as adding extra fans to a case might improve system cooling. By checking temperatures constantly, a user can gain a stable overclock, but if they do not want that and want to continue pushing the computer, a copper heatsink is still very important.
