Recently, Guancheng Hardware has received information from many merchants and wants to know the situation of water-cooled radiators. Many of the questions are how to distinguish the quality of water-cooled plates. Here is a brief introduction to some simple identification knowledge of water-cooled plate radiators. .

Tools/Materials
Vernier caliper
Identification standards for aluminum and copper materials
1. Look at the material. Most of the water-cooled heat sinks of the radiator on the market are designed with aluminum plates buried in copper pipes. This type of water-cooled plates using aluminum and copper alloys is cost-effective and relatively low in cost. It is not difficult for everyone to look at the quality of aluminum and copper, whether there are impurities, that is, the quality of the raw materials.

2. Look at the craftsmanship. The material can be the same but the process is different, but the effect of the radiator is completely different. The process must be started from two aspects. On the one hand, whether the production is carried out according to the design drawing, and the parameters indicated in the drawing are checked with a vernier caliper. It can be regarded as qualified if it is within 0.05 mm, and the accuracy can be up to 0.02 mm if the requirement is high.

3. On the other hand, look at the workmanship of the water-cooled plate, because the process of embedding the aluminum plate through the copper pipe will cause a problem of adhesion. If there is a gap between the two, it will affect the heat dissipation effect and even cause water leakage. Case. In addition, the copper pipe and the aluminum plate are connected by the buried pipe process, and then processed by the process of polishing or flying surface, so that the whole water-cooled heat sink forms a flat plane, and the quality can also be observed from this plane. Flat, whether the copper tube and the aluminum plate are fused into a plane, gaps or unevenness will affect the heat dissipation effect.

4. You can roughly judge the pros and cons of a radiator water-cooled plate through several aspects. If the requirements are higher, you can ask Winshare Hardware for the measured heat dissipation data, and it will be more accurate to judge through the data.
