Why do companies insist on shipping something that otensibly requires a heat sink, without the heat sink itself?
If I shipped out a fully-powered MK-R LED without a heat sink, saying "Oh it'll work fine!" I'd be getting chewed out within two minutes of the customer turning it on.
- Erlich_Bachman 7y agoMaybe for the same reason that you can by a CPU without a heatsink - in order to provide flexibility. They assume that the number of people that will want to specialize and customize their heatsinks/fans will be so high in proportion to the people that will be just fine using the standard sink, that it is not worth it. There are very cheap easy to mount (like 2 seconds easy) heatsinks that will do the job (probably with thermal throttling though).
