As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the
proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal
in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified
maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through
increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface
materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum
heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the
heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for
collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors.
Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case
requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all
heatsinks that support AMD processors.
