### 3. Key Electronic/Thermal Features
#### A. Thermal Resistance Flow
The performance of the heatsink depends on the Airflow (Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). As airflow increases, the thermal resistance decreases:
1. **Unducted Flow:** 7.66°C/W @ 100 LFM
2. **Ducted Flow:** 1.62°C/W @ 500 LFM
#### B. Push-Pin Attachment System
The "05F" and "R0" designations refer to the specific mounting hardware. This model uses a **plastic push-pin** with a **brass spring**.
* **Hole Pattern:** Standard 2-hole mounting.
* **Pressure:** Consistent force ensures the thermal interface material (TIM) makes perfect contact with the heat-generating component.
#### C. Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
The part comes with **T766** thermal grease pre-applied to the base. This simplifies the assembly process and ensures optimal heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum fins.
