A CPU heatsink (fan included) blows room temperature air with a total convective heat transfer coefficient of 28 2/m2K. The air travels over a heatsink comprised of 12 fins 40mm long x 18mm high. If the CPU (intel I7-9700K) has a thermal dissipation of 120W, what must the average surface temperature of the fins be?
