### 2. Key Component Features
* **Push-Pin Attachment:** This model uses a plastic push-pin and spring system. This ensures a consistent pressure on the processor, improving thermal conductivity and simplifying the assembly process.
* **Straight Fin Geometry:** The fins are designed in a straight pattern to maximize surface area for heat dissipation while minimizing the pressure drop across the heat sink.
* **Pre-Applied TIM:** It comes with **T766** thermal interface material (thermal paste/pad) pre-applied to the base, ensuring a reliable thermal bond out of the box.
* **Blue Anodized Coating:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and increases surface emissivity, which slightly improves radiative heat transfer.
