Intel Core Processor Family Cooling Solutions

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.
