MBA i3 2020 cooler same as i7?

[Nordwind2000]

Hello from Germany and a merry X-Mas.

My question:

The cooler of the i3 MBA 2020 consists of alloy and the cooler of the i5/i7 is copper. Are the cooler the same size and can I use in my i3?

It's only for the hobby to mod some PCs or Notebooks.

Bye

That depends on the year of the macbook air, my 2010 has a rubber gasket atop the heat sink
ifixit has teardowns of every macbook that will help your questions.
merry Christmas to you to!

Oh... I apologize... I forgot the model year... My MBA is from 2020...

yes, coolers are the same. only thermal heatsinks are different on i3 and i5/i7 models

Are the heatsinks very different? It is possible to use it in a i3 MBA?
