Is the heatsink free-standing, or, does it require a physical

Odd that the cpu would/could crater in some fashion just to start overheating.
You really do find some strange problems..... LOL!
I see ALL the strange problems. :) It's a heatsink pad that screws
onto the motherboard with a pressure connection to the CPU - on top
of the pad is a pipe that moves off about 3.5 inches to the side of
the case with a fan beside it that blows air across the vanes to cool
the coolant liquid inside. So it's possible the thing developed a
leak and emptied.
