9 The CPU cooler’s base is smaller than the CPU. Will this affect performance?
The CPU’s core is smaller than the CPU cooler’s base, and the IHS(Integrated Heat Spreader*) which covers the surface of
the CPU is in place to protect the core. The CPU cooler’s base is larger than the CPU’s core, so it has no negative effect on
