Custom 3 pipe CPU heatsink for alienware 17 2014

I am building a customer 3 pipe CPU heatsink. I need a OEM CPU heatsink assembly. I found the C61N1 part number in the owners thread buy im curious if anyone had one laying around that i could but to take apart or where i could order the proper part? thanks,

I pulled a CPU Heat sink out of a old dell i had laying around seams to be perfect for what i plan to do, going to either mill out the existing cpu plate and just add in the new heat pipe and heat sink to match, then I plan to cut the fan to match so it will all fit. Or I may just take apart the existing duel heat pipes and make a all copper plate and just make a whole new heat pipe system.

 

While reading up on the design and deployment of heatpipes in laptops I got to thinking about the design in out laptops.

Now while a third pipe can pull more heat away from the gpu, you will be limited to how much heat the actual heatsink end/fan can pull away from that. Right now, when I am fully loading the gpu/cpu the air coming out is hot hot hot. Now, if I had a better heatsink at the end of that heat pipe, It could take more heat away from the pipe it self, the computer would cool down much faster.

While I am not really too sure how to go about this, i have some thoughts.
Taking off the fins, and replacing them with a better copper heatsink.... thinking something like we used on the m11x heatsink mods. (mosfet heatsinks) They would need to be soldered to the heatpipes for max cooling.
Adding more fins for some more surface area.

Not really sure of what else could be done, but im sure some people out here could think of something.

EDIT: THinking more about it, I think using mosfet heatsinks would work out pretty well. They would not restrict the airflow from the fan, and pull away the heat really really fast.

Adding more fins to the stock one would just restrict the airflow more.

 

my laptops always on a cooler, so moving the air was not my main concern, its actually pulling the heat away from the CPU faster, I am actually going to use a solid copper plate still working on the thickness, and basically remove the heat pipes and heatsink off the OEM one, and re braze it the the new larger copper plate. Once i have the new copper plate its a matter of how efficiently can we remove the heat from the pipes and heatsink,

Spot on about the air from the heatsink being HOT... that was the first think i noticed when i got this laptop. But since i made my custom u3 laptop cooler with 5 fans the oem fans never hot full rpm, and the temps are never as hot as it was before. That got me thinking if all the heat is being transfered by 2 short pipes through the heatsinks, then a 3rd pipe should help to reduce the overall load temperature
.
Disassembling the oem thermal module is actually pretty easy, clean it, stick it in the oven, ( either 275 @ 7 mins, or 375 @ 5 mins depending on the type of solder was originally used) and theirs no pipe damage at all. and rebuilding them is about the same.

When you take out the GPU thermal module you can see how efficient it is compared to the CPU module.

My real problem is that I have idle hands and too much time so i need something to mod!! hhahhahah

 

If your on a u3 all the time, I recommend adding more copper to the stock heatsinks every place you can fit it.
Very much like we did with our m11xs.

Since the fans are always blowing at them, there would be very little need to channel the heat from the gpu with the heat pipes. Just load it up with copper and let the fans blow.

 

I though about it, but descided to take it to the next step and just make a overall better solution,

 

Well post up all your results, I would love to see something to keep by baby cool.

 

will do, just need to source out a copper block and ill start.

 

Looks like it fits well there, no harm in giving it a try, the air may be hot but it can always get hotter up until core temp
