"As an extra safety precaution, the base of the PCH207H.M is protected via 2 low tack adhesive strips, which are to be removed upon usage. This is a nice addition to ensure no accidental scratches when handling the unit. The base is practically smooth and produces an excellent mirror like reflection. I did note several imperfections and small bumps throughout the base that is most likely from the electroplating process. Users may want to lap the base to remove these bumps, which may potentially cause problems if non-adequate thermal compound is applied. A beveled rectangle is present which covers the majority of the socket and
CPU area. Measuring 73 mm x 73 mm x 36 mm, the footprint of the PCH207H.M is requires little clearance for mounting and would be ideal for those with space constraints."
