the thermal resistance of the Chomerics THERMFLOW T710 TIM is shown in Table 6-1 The
heatsink clip provides enough pressure for the TIM to achieve a thermal conductivity of 0.17°C

6.5.5 Heatsink Retaining Fastener
The reference solution uses four heatsink retaining Tufloks. The fasteners attach the heatsink to the
motherboard by expanding its Tuflok prong to snap into each of the four heatsink mounting holes.
These fasteners are intended to be used on a 0.062” thickness motherboard with either of the two
NB reference thermal solutions. See Appendix B for a mechanical drawing of the fastener.
