Earlier today, when I was younger and had more RAM avail., I read about a cpu manufacturing process called perhaps(clivening?). I'd never heard the word before, so I read onward. A single block of aluminum is used for both the base and fins of the cooler. I dunno how they do it, but they possibly force the metal between the fins downward to form the base. The process provides more even operating temps. Sounds ok! Right? I can't remember the brand name of the cooler. Heck, I don't even recall if the word clivening is right. Can anyone help? Google me kangaroo down, sport.
