Nope. They provide the minimum required but it is really up to you to
ensure that the correct heatsink is installed to suit your local
conditions.

Cooling/ heatsinks/thermal pastes is a science of its own. Go to
Overclockers.com (and similar) to find out all about
heatsinks/temperatures, lapping the heatsink, using the right compound,
and so on :-) . It's a new world! :-) .
Are you saying standard thermal paste can cause problems ?
Are the matching CPU heatsinks by say AMD a risk ?

Kind regards Philippe
