They don't even solder to a flat heatspreader-plate now, it's just Straight up the pipe, Not milled, nothing, just a rough, uneven surface.
Truly disgusting. You can barely call it flat. The photo is of the bottom part, that touches the cores.
When did they start doing this?? This is from a dell pro14 14250. Cheap laptop, but still, this is yikes.
In real world, if you drop this laptop hard enough, you can crush the pipe such that the fluid doesn't even flow properly.
