    Who wants to make a "home docking" mod?

    Just thought this might be interesting.

    Take this: [​IMG]

    Attach a piece of copper with some thermal pads to physically connect the internal copper heatpipes to the Aluminum laptop cooler itself.

    The NC2000 will act as a massive heatsink that gets cooled at the same time by the built in NC2000 fan.

    The backplate will need to be precision cut and designed so you can still snap back the plastic when not "docked".

    About 1/2 inch of thermal pads or so should give a proper amount of padding without physically straining or breaking your computer (assuming you aren't going to be 100% on the measurements).

    That should drop temperatures down about 20C or so. :eek:

    I think it would be better to upgrade the main fan instead. Installing an ebm-papst Flatpak would be just as effective.
