As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is the 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. Heat sinks 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 heat sink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heat sink to the processor.

When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heat sinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those heat sinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heat sinks that support Intel processors.
