    Today, I spoke with a sale agent. And, he said that they dealt with Thermal treatment due to frequent complaints.

    Can I trust it?

    Screenshot of the new cpu cooler (actual Service Manual). Still 3 arm design but stronger third arm... we will see if it helps to get rid of high core temps/differentials...
