The large surface area of the heat sink, which is made up of many thin metal fins, allows it to efficiently cool the processor. Over time, in a normal operating environment, the heat sink will ...

One of the newest heat sink improvements is ultra-thin aluminum fins spaced closer together than traditional heat sinks. Ultra-thin fin extrusions are just an iteration of conventional technology.

In the study presented in this paper, we designed an ultra-thin heat sink using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as micro cooling fins attached directly onto a chip. A metal-enhanced CNT transfer technique was ...

will snake across all of the chips and link to an array of thin heat-sink fins. The notebook’s cooling fan will likely sit adjacent to or directly on top of the heat sink. Use the canned air and ...

This appears to be 'adequately' ventilated. I would use a heatsink if one exists that fits, even a thin one will be better than no heatsink. Looks like 3mm tall if I'm reading the specs right.

New zipper fin heat sinks from Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) are protecting thousands of components from the dangers of excess heat at a lower cost than other high fin density heat sink ...

This increases the upward force acting on the heat-sink-impeller, which acts to return it to its original height. The air bearing basically behave like a very thin, very stiff, compression spring.
