Details
The ModMyMods Cold Forged Copper Heatsink is a small pin heatsink measuring 15 x 15 mm with a height of 7 mm. A flat copper base carries an array of square pins that give off heat to the surrounding air. It is made for small chips and tight spaces in custom builds, and this listing is a single heatsink.

Copper pins for small chips
Copper conducts heat very well, so the heat of the chip spreads quickly from the flat base into the pins. Air can pass between the pins from any side, which suits the mixed airflow inside a case or around a small board.
Cold forged
The heatsink is cold forged: the base and pins are formed from one piece of copper under pressure, so there is no joint between pin and base.
Pick the size
ModMyMods carries this heatsink in several footprints and in 4 mm and 7 mm heights. Choose a footprint that covers the chip without overhanging onto nearby parts, and check that the height fits under covers, cards or fans close by.
Mounting
Fix the heatsink with a thermal adhesive pad cut to the size of the base, for example the ModMyMods Thermal Adhesive Pad (MOD-0385). Clean the chip and the heatsink base before you stick it down, then press the heatsink on firmly.
