Re: Z230 SFF PCH Heatsink?

For reference, my Z230 SFF has a Xeon E3-1245 v3 CPU, and no PCH heatsink. I remain very interested to hear whether others with same or different builds have the heatsink present.

 

I will probably add a heatsink to mine. Think it will have to be epoxied, because I don't see anyplace to attach a hold-down spring.

 

I can think of 2 disadvantages to adding a heatsink:

  1. It may void machine's warranty.
  2. If heatsink is too large it may interfere with PCIe expansion cards.

Of course the main advantage would be lower PCH temperature and presumably longer life / better reliability.
