An apparatus and method for thermal management of electronic devices are disclosed. A magnetic heatsink includes a thermally conductive base with vertical fins and one or more shielded magnet units having an exposed attachment face. A subset of fins form fan-receiving groups with inwardly curved extensions and a bottom slot bent upward to create a protruding lip, cooperating to provide lateral guidance and three-way mechanical locking of a micro fan module that also magnetically couples to the heatsink. A Smart Power Stage (SPS) board carries embedded magnet units and a board-to-board interface to magnetically and electrically engage a designated motherboard zone having a metal pad and connector, enabling tool-less installation, self-alignment and efficient heat transfer. Methods of configuring, servicing, and replacing the fan and SPS board are also described.
