What is a heat sink compound and how does it cool the electronics?

Do you know how to cool an electronic device? You might think the answer is air conditioning, but it’s not. Air conditioning doesn’t work on electronics because they generate their own heat and don’t need to be cooled down. Instead, a heat sink compound helps regulate the temperature of your computer or other electrical appliance by absorbing and transferring excess thermal energy away from the semiconductor junctions in your device. Don’t worry if this sounds complicated – we’ll explain more…
