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, Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and
locking mechanism to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please utilize an Intel recommend
heatsink for use with Intel 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 Intel processors.
