Direct contact, except it isn't, it's just a thin base, but telling lies isn't nice.
And I bet direct contact still beats it.

I bet it doesn't 5 euros! go go :laugh:

but in all seriousness thermal-right and noctua don't use direct touch and their coolers are the best performing air coolers on market.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but a thin base would still create another contact layer, which they would to need to either solder or use thermal transfer material on, but in either case you lose compared to direct contact, so i expect (based on the invention of direct contact) that even with tiny gaps direct contact on the same cooler would make it perform slightly better.

But it's impossible to say for us really so those €5's remain on the table I guess :)

Aye but you have to remember a base like this better distributes the heat, the pipes get heated from the side as well as the bottom.

So whilst yes there is a extra gap you get that as a benefit instead.

Both systems have their pros and cons I'd say.

that base with the pipes and HDT is what Xigmatek needs to go to.
