4.18. Heat Sinks

Active heat sinks cool processors. To achieve optimal cooling performance, the underside of the heat sink must be
properly attached to the processor with TIM. The mechanical performance of the heat sink is designed to meet the
requirements of Intel processors. The heat sink is necessary to maintain CPU temperature at or below temperature
limits.
