6.3.2.1 Heat Sink Orientations
Retention Method B supports an omni-directional placement for the heat sink. Airflow may pass
either perpendicular direction over the fins and the heat sink may be mounted in either the vertical
or horizontal position atop the MCH, depending on hole placement.
Aligning the heat sink 45° relative to the airflow is acceptable but delivers reduced thermal
performance.
