On the Intel C2D stock fans, the there is a thermal pad on the bottom but it does not cover the surface area entirely, is this okay? I thought the thermal pad would cover the entire contact area between the cpu and cpu fan??
The thermal pad covers plenty and will spread out a bit once pressure is applied and it heats up. Besides the ICH is much wider then the chip itself. If the pad was the same size as the ICH then some of it would ooz out the sides.
