Pin-Fin Thermal Module
Compared with traditional stacked-fin heatpipe solution, the new-generation pin-fin
thermal design results in better thermal performance, which enlarges the “heat-
exchange” surface area and breaks the “boundary-layer” phenomenon for effective
airflow. The Pin-Fin Thermal Module is the most efficient thermal system on the
motherboard.
