While trying to dig up a better photo, I think I stumbled upon the answer… [URL] Thanks for the attention!
New 8940, 11700 non-K, 2060 graphics. There’s an IC below the memory DIMMs that has what looks like an IHS (mirror-finish metal patch). Every mobo photo I see has this covered by a clamp-on heat sink. What is this part, and is it expected that this not have a HS?   Thx
XPS 8940, am I missing a heat sink? (No, not the CPU cooler ;) )
