Heatsink Mass & Center of Gravity
• Total mass including plastic fan housing and fasteners <500 g.
• Assembly center of gravity <= 25.4 mm, measured from the top of the IHS.

Thermal Interface Material
A thermal interface material (TIM) provides conductivity between the IHS and heat
sink. The designs use Dow Corning TC-1996. The TIM application is 0.14 g, which will
be a nominal 20 mm diameter (~0.79 inches).
