How to Remove the CPU Clip-on Fan for AIO panel PC?
With the widespread application of high-frequency CPUs in AIO panel PC, 12-inch industrial touch screen AIO Panel PC, and small size industrial Android tablet PC, heat dissipation systems have become a core component for industrial panel odm and Android touch all in one PC supplier to ensure equipment stability. Whether it is All-in-one Panel PC for Medical Self-Service Kiosks or equipment used in production lines, the heat dissipation efficiency of the CPU directly determines the operating life and reliability of the equipment.
The CPU surface of industrial equipment such as AIO panel PC and panel mount touch screen has microscopic unevenness, so the filling effect of thermal grease is crucial—it enables close contact between the heat sink and the CPU, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. Especially for equipment with strong airtightness and high power consumption, such as industrial panel mount monitor and 1000nits High Brightness Monitor, high-quality thermal grease must have high-temperature resistance and anti-aging properties. Under the production standards of odm anti-static dust-free magnetic custom, the control of thermal grease purity and viscosity is even a key factor affecting heat dissipation efficiency. Thermal grease that becomes semi-liquid after heating will fully fill the gaps, which is particularly important for equipment that operates for a long time, such as Android system industrial panel PC.
一、Installation Steps for CPU Clip-on Fan
Key Note: After installing the CPU, do not forget to apply an appropriate amount of thermal grease to the CPU surface before assembling the heat sink—this is a key prerequisite for ensuring the heat dissipation effect of equipment such as industrial android PC!
1.When installing the CPU heat sink for 12-inch industrial touch screen AIO Panel PC, align it vertically above the CPU and lower it slowly; do not use excessive force. Due to the special layout of capacitors on the motherboard of VESA Mount Panel PC, it is recommended to face the end without metal clips towards the side of the panel pc vesa mounting holes to avoid interference from capacitors.
2.After the bottom of the heat sink is in full contact with the CPU, first firmly connect one end of the clip to the CPU socket of Android system industrial panel PC to ensure initial fixation. Extra care is required for this step when dealing with compact equipment like small size industrial Android tablet PC.
3.This is the most critical step: after confirming that one end of the clip is firmly fixed, keep it in horizontal contact, and slowly press the other end of the metal clip onto the socket with both hands. For 11.6 Inch Industrial All-in-one PC for Production Line MES Terminal, control the force to prevent motherboard deformation.
4.Press the metal clip down until it is fully engaged to complete the installation of the heat sink body. Finally, be sure to plug the power interface into the corresponding motherboard power interface of MES Hardware terminals; otherwise, the fan will not operate normally. This is a common installation detail emphasized by Android touch all in one PC supplier.
二、Disassembly Steps for CPU Clip-on Fan
Although "inviting the god is easier than sending him away", the disassembly of the CPU clip-on heat sink for AIO panel PC is actually much simpler than installation.
1.Before disassembly, first disconnect the main power supply of equipment such as 8 inch industrial panel pc, then pull the metal clip up to the maximum angle to release the fixation on the CPU socket. This operation is applicable to most industrial panel mount monitor.
2.Gently push the clip at the end with the metal clip outward with both hands; if the clip is tightly engaged, you can use insulated tools for assistance (comply with the specifications of odm anti-static dust-free magnetic custom to avoid scratching the motherboard of 21.5-inch industrial Android panel PC).
3.After one end of the clip is opened, the other end will be much easier to handle—just push it out gently. For large-screen equipment such as 13.3 inch Industrial Panel PC, it is recommended to hold the bottom of the heat sink with one hand while operating.
4.After both ends of the clip are fully opened, slowly remove the heat sink vertically. Since thermal grease may cause adhesion between the CPU and the heat sink, especially for high-precision equipment such as Panel PC Touchscreen 13.3 inch, tilting the heat sink during removal may damage the CPU pins. This is a core taboo in the maintenance of industrial panel odm.
