对于散热器OEM的厂商来说，不可能每个测试平台都配备CPU，这是根本不现实的。那么OEM厂商靠什么来测试散热呢？
原文：Korean thermal solutions manufacturer Thermolab Co. Ltd. have introduced a heatsink test platform for OEM and industry use. The TLS-M thermal test equipment is capable of testing Intel socket 775 and AMD socket 939/940/AM2 heatsinks in any orientation from 0, 90, 180, to 270 degrees from horizontal.
The Thermolab TLS-M platform uses a standard 6-channel industrial LCD panel control to drive a resistive heater mounted on the 1.6mm thick PCB base. This approach replicates the standard motherboard mounting environment that heatsinks encounter in the real world. Measurements are derived from Platinum thermocouples, and the system appears to be geared towards generating thermal resistance figures as compared against a "master sample." It is not clear what range of heat loads the TLS-M is capable of applying.
Dimension (m/m): 400 (L) * 315 (W) * 250 (H)
Wool heat generation body: Hundred confinement metal plate elder brother heat generation bodies
Guard Heater: Carbon system face heat generation body
Temperature determination: maximum 6Channel measurement possibility
Temperature precision: 0.1°C
Control: 2 loop (separate way maximum 4 Channel temperature determination possibility)
Power Supply Unit
1. Heat generation body: DC 50V, 8A
2. Pan : DC 15V, 10A
The price for Thermolab's TLS-M thermal test equipment is $25M KRW, or about $25,140USD at today's exchange rate. The unit can be purchased from Thermolab right here.
