Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Heat Sink
A heat sink is an attachment for a chip that prevents the chip from overheating. It has a thermal conductor to carry heat away from the central processing unit (CPU) into fins that provide a large surface area for the heat to dissipate throughout the rest of the computer, thus cooling both the heat sink and processor.
Signs that you need a new Heatsink
Signs from your Toughbook indicate a failing heat sink. Some common indications include:
- Slowing down the computer, frequent freezes, blue screen of death
- Corrupted data
- Accumulation of bad sectors
- Strange noises (like clicking or whirring sounds)
- Overheating computer
If you notice any of these signs, react immediately to save your files and prevent any data from being lost.
