This had surprised me too.

We've been told, in the end the heatsink didn't really make a
difference. (it really needs a fan)..

This is the heatsink used:

This is the fan kit i've been using..

Heatsink and fan information is described in the Quick Start guide. You can run 
without a heatsink, unless you are planning to crank it up. Then you really 
need the heatsink and the fan together.

FAN

HEATSINK https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=BDN10-%203CB%2FA01 

Heatsink has the thermal adhesive on the back.

Subject: [beagleboard] Beagleboard X-15 Heat Sink

Hello all. Just received my Beagleboard X-15 yesterday. Ordered it from 
Digi-Key, all okay there, but what's up with the lack of packing inside the 
Beagleboard box? Just the board in its anti-static packaging but no padding to 
keep it from flopping around in that box. Also there is no heat sink on the 
cpu. I'm assuming there needs to be at least a heat sink and optionally a fan 
mounted on the heat sink. So my question is, anyone have suggestions for a heat 
sink, possibly a part number from Digi-key. Also an appropriate 
adhesive/thermal paste to mount the heat sink with?

Looking forward to getting a few projects going on this beast...

Thanks,
Ross
