In the Box
- NCU-1000 fin unit with Heatlane technology
- Presser plate
- Copper heat spreader
- Insulation rubber plate
- Support plate
- Thermal grease
- 4x Knurled nuts
- 4x Plastic nuts
- 4x Plastic standoff collars
- 4x Flathead mounting screws
- 4x Presser plate mounting screws
The first thing you will notice when you take the heat sink out of the box is
its incredible weight, due largely to the huge copper heat spreader. The construction
of the NCU-1000 is very impressive, the fins are strong and rigid, the plates
and screws are all finely machined.
Upon closer inspection of the fin unit you will notice that the body is comprised
of many parallel tubes running down the side, along the bottom and up the other
side of the unit. The fins are attached in wave formation along the inside and
the outside of the U-shape. The tubes are filled with thermally conductive liquid
and essentially act as heat pipes, transferring the heated liquid to the top
of the unit an the cooled liquid back down to the bottom in a cyclic fashion.
Actually there is a nice little explanation on the box:
" The Heatlane
is TS Heatronics's original technology, which circulates the working fluid within
the meandering capillary tube. The technology based on the operative principle
which is completely different from the conventional heat pipe. It realizes effective
heat transfer not only horizontally but also from the top to the bottom (top
heat) as well as better heat transfer capability than the conventional heat
pipe."
