Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for thermal interface material detection includes a heatsink stack up with a heatsink, a thermal interface material, a heat generating component, and a printed circuit board. The heatsink is disposed on the thermal interface material, the thermal interface material is disposed on the heat generating component, and the heat generating component is disposed on the printed circuit board. A channel in a body of the heatsink is configured for insertion of a compression probe, where a first end of the channel leads to a lower surface of the body of the heatsink and a second end of the channels leads to an upper surface of the body of the heatsink.
