this is true.

(BWG)
i notice that also.

who said we who engineer do not know how to think? ;-)
you would be very surprised at just how much time is spent
in trying to "tear down" a new system design. heat sinking
is an on going challenge.
ic voltage levels where dropped for 2 main reasons, switching
rate time and heat build up.
the main reason for the design of transistors was to decrease
size of a cpu so that it would fit in an aerospace craft. be
it a 'sputnik' or a 'mars rover'. size is not the problem. heat
is and seems like it always will be.
when electrons flow in a confined space, hit will be produced.
i would say that your biggest worry is if you are adding or
removing a card and drop the back plain screw behind the high
side of the head sink and it happens to short a solder or
transition point.
for sure, be careful of dropping anything metallic inside a
computer box. especially if laid with pcb at bottom.
"npi", but always, "cyoa".
