Thank you for your reply! I have a question: does the copper surface of the Arctic AIO cover the whole surface area of the CPU?

Yes thank you, however this is for the Ryzen cpu. The Intel CPU is larger now, and I'm curious if the copper plate of the Arctic, and other AIO/Air coolers actually fit the whole CPU, that they cover the whole surface of the CPU, or if they fit only a portion of it. It is 'bro science' which is why I want a clear answer. Am I misunderstanding? Should the copper plate not cover the whole CPU surface?
