Brian's Cooling: Copper MOD

Hi all. I just make the Copper MOD following Sintoic guide. I take pictures and also have questions

Pics:







































For the chipset I need to take back the cooling again and put the blue pad because the copper not was thight enought.




Temps, well there not are a big difference like other member that can get 20C lower. I get 10C lower in idle. It was in 71-73C normally and now down to 61-63C. My house temp is of 84-85F, in the night it drops to 79F. I see a big difference playing San Andreas. From 91-94C to 75C (Load) Also the fan not blow at max like before.

How I can put the copper in the chipset? Im thinking to cut the blue pad by half and put one half over the copper shim.

 

Brian,

It looks like you applied Thermal Paste to both the dies and the Heat Sinks?

I found this video to be useful.

Eyeballing it, you looked a bit too heavy on the thermal paste.

Also undervolt for maximum awesomeness. I just undervolted my gf's m1330 down to 68c under load. Highest multiplier on the t7500 is at ione tick above 1.000 volts. I also have the exact same thermal paste with no copper mod.

 

Well I read somewhere on Internet that more Mx-3 better cooling, but I can try less thermal paste maybe I get better cooling, It seems reasonable.

Unvervolt GPU? I saw CPU but GPU?

I will watch that video.

 

Artic Clean, mmm. Really it worth the $12 bucks??? Or go with alcohol?

 

well, idle temp by night was 55F with DOX Driver

 

If you going to place a copper plate between chip set & heat sink you need it at least 1.5 - 2mm thicker of your current copper plates .
Alcohol will do... I used white rum on a Q-tip when I did mine.. (Some call it rocket fuel...from Jamaica)

 

Thankyou.

Still I like to make the GPU Heatsink mod. Still looking for ideas to make it. Im happy by now with the 55 C Idle and 75-80C Load. Before I get 90C and up in Load.
