I am a computer nerd. To maximize my computer speed, I need to minimize heat on the processor. I have a 3"x3" ceramic chip, attached to a like sized aluminium heat sink (fans and fins and such). The problem:
almost all the heat is generated in a 1" by 1" raised (a few microns)metal square centered on the chip. Therefore, the aluminium heatsink has an extremely hot center, and though the heatsink is cool to the touch, the chip center is still about 53 deg. Cel. Not good. What I need is something that will dissipate the 1" square of heat, to the entire 3" square base of the heatsink. I was thinking of a copper plate sandwiched between the heatsink and the chip, will that work? Is there a better solution?
