Is it better to have a thin or thick base plate in contact with the CPU core to transfer the heat to the fin surface areas for disapation?
My thoughts, which are limited, lead me to believe that a thicker base plate will transfer the heat more evenly to the fins but also will hold more heat in the CPU. A thinner base would be less efficient in transfering the heat to the fins but would run cooler at the CPU as the base plate would take advantage of the cooling fans also.
Anyone know which is best?
