Copper core In order to make our testing station compatible with every cooler ever made we went with a very simple design using interchangeable PCBs. Creating custom PCBs by drilling exact holes at specific points is very easy, therefore by being able to easily install different PCBs and adjust their height compared to the top of the copper core we gained the ability to emulate any CPU core precisely and install any cooler despite its design, size, shape, weight and / or retention mechanism. By being able to use any custom PCB and any size copper core, we ensured the usability of our testing station indefinitely.
