As we come closer and closer to those hot summer temps, investing in a new Heatsink/Fan would be a wise choice. There are literally hundreds of HSF's to choose from, whether it be for OC'ing enthusiasts or just those who want a simple upgrade from their low-par HSF to a more productive and cooler combo. This guide provides the most detailed of information to help you make that decision in purchasing a HSF, and in the process educates you about this common piece of hardware.

"There are many different heatsink fan products on the market today with the rise of overclocking popularity over the past few years. Heatsinks come in all different shapes and sizes are made out of a range of different materials. We have different fan choices, from the ultra quiet mildly performing to top performing of the range highly performing noisy fans. But in the end, I'm sure you've all wondered before now, "how do they actually work?". In this guide Asher "Acid" Moses tells us just that, the theory behind heatsinks."
