Note: Intel has also developed an 1U alternative reference heatsink design. This alternative heatsink design meets the thermal profile specifications of the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5400 Series and offers the advantages of weight reduction and cost savings. Refer to Appendix B for detail information.

2.5.7Components Overview

2.5.7.1Heatsink with Captive Screws and Standoffs

The CEK reference heatsink uses snapped-fin technology for its design. It consists of a copper base and copper fins with Shin-Etsu* G751 thermal grease as the TIM. The mounting screws and standoffs are also made captive to the heatsink base for ease of handling and assembly as shown in Figure 2-22and Figure 2-23for the 2U+ and 1U heatsinks, respectively.
