In case it will help someone else with my particular version of this problem, I was able to fix it:  Using another computer, I downloaded the latest BIOS for the 7080 with the error, put it on a USB drive, and then booted up and updated the BIOS via the F12 menu. I am no longer getting the heatsink error  -Greg  
Hi Guy's, I recently upgraded my Optiplex 7080 SFF from i5-10500 to i9-10900 and after that, on every boot I received and error showing this message: Alert! VR Heat sink not detected. Some one can help me? [IMAGE]
