From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
heat sink          /heet sink/ (from "sink", electronics jargon for       something which takes in current) A piece of thermally       conductive metal attached to a {semiconductor} or other       electronic device and designed to prevent it from overheating       by conducting heat away from it and radiating it to the       environment.   Heat sinks often have fins to increase their       surface area.   They occasionally have fans attached.   Heat       sink compound can be smeared between the device and the heat       sink to improve thermal conduction.          (1997-06-10)
