seeing as the cold plate comes in contact with the core only, there seems that there would be a volume of air between the cold plate and the ceramic part of the processor...any ideas on how to insulate this?
with the assembly mounted to the motherboard, it would be difficult to get any silicone in there...
could I use an overflow of thermal grease(silicone based) to fill the gap?
