Precision SFF 3440: CPU upgrade

So I have inquired with Dell and they said the SFF 3440 is compatable with the i7-10700. I knew this before asking them the question, because Dell sold the system with i7 config. Nevertheless as soon as I installed the said CPU I got the message in POST.

"Alert! VR heatsink not detected"

Anyone has experience with it?

What is a VR heatsink?

And why do I need a VR heatsink when the CPU I swapped out was the same wattage?

How do I eliminate this warning?

So many questions. So little answers.

    Thank you!

    But when reach to Dell they refuse to provide information and cost on part number CN-0612F7.

    Wondering what does that mean?
