+[* black] Time to liberate that logic board.
+[* black] As usual, this relatively modest-looking heat sink handles cooling for the CPU and integrated graphics. Also as usual, Apple's assemblers have used what seems like more thermal paste than strictly necessary, but it's not likely to hurt anything.
+[* black] Much like we saw in the [guide|101807|iMac Pro|stepid=191243], Apple's custom T2 chip has taken over an impressive number of functions—like the SMC, SSD controller with on-the-fly encryption, secure boot, always-on Hey Siri, and more. But, we still expect to find a lot of other silicon on this board. Let's check it out!
