Thermal grease[edit]
The article does not mention the role of thermal grease (e.g. if it's used in addition to or instead of a shim).Socrates2008 (Talk) 12:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Illustrative Image[edit]
Unless you know exactly what a cpu shim looks like, the image is no help at all without further clarification. To clarify, the shim is the blue part. The (semi-)circles at the four corners fit rubber 'feet' that are on top of the cpu package. The opening in the middle is for the metal cpu, which sticks out a bit above the rest of the package. The thickness of the shim should be exactly the amount the cpu sticks out above the package, so that a heatsink that rests on the shim also touches the cpu. 108.234.224.230 (talk) 17:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
