CPU or heat sink, the temperature effect will be the same.
The comment was made "the heat sink fins were quite warm"
and I simply supplied a reference to that subjective
feeling. But if the CPU was at 92C the heat sink would have
been conducting that temperature to the fins.
BTW, temperature and heat are two different things.
If you have a gram of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 100 C
and you place your hand in the gas, it will not cause any
injury since there is only one gram of a low specific heat
material. But 1 gram of iron at 100 C dropped in your hand
will burn your skin.
BTW2, I know what a heat sink is.

| That's CPU temperature, Jim. We are talking about
touching the fins of a
| heat sink (these are already at a lower temp than the
CPU). The are thin
| strips of metal, have a high heat transfer co-efficient
and an enhanced
| surface area for heat dissipation and typically would lose
large amounts of
| heat very fast through conduction and radiation, apart
from natural
| convection. Temps can fall *quite* fast.
