Fair enough...
Wikipedia has a nice article on it... it might be of some interest:

Bye,
Skybuck.
Yep, rather good. I was especially interested in the "pin type" metallic
airflow heatsink, so I dug a little deeper and did some more calculations.
For what you have, you need about a 3"x4" rectangle with about a
base-plate of about 1/4". The pins should be about 1-1 1/2" high with
about a 3/16" diameter at base tapering down to about 1/64" at the top,
spaced at about 1/4" apart in a square or hex pattern.
The installation is a little tricky, and some improvisation may be needed.
Temporarily place your new heatsink on the top of your head, with the
pins (not the base) touching your scalp. Secure it (temporarily) with
ducttape or one of the silicone-based double-sticky adhesives.
Now, walk out in the nearest "heavy-traffic" street. Wait for a bus to
approach, and if it's not stopping, run out in front of it and bow
toward it, as if aiming the heatsink at the front of the bus.
I think that will cure your TDP heat issues.
