HeatSprings Sign Up Here

EDIT: SIGN UP COMPLETED, Heat Springs Order Processed. And now Delivered .

Hi,

As in Topic.

Heat-spring Sign Up.

I will be ordering Heat-springs from U.S. after i will receive funds from all Users that signed Up for it.

Funds that are needed = $350 incl Shipping

I will receive 50 Heat-springs that are 1x1 inch in size (smallest lot i can buy)

50 Heat-springs are now divided to 10 lots of 5, meaning we must get at least 10 people to proceed with the order, each User must be willing to Transfer the funds to my PayPal Account, so $35 each OR £21.5 ( £ preferred currency since i hold account in £ sterling). I will then send them out in envelopes to keep the costs low ( lol they are already expensive ).

Each user will receive 5 Heat-springs, or, if he decides ( some already did ) to buy more.

Buy Thermal Interface Materials / Indium Corporation's Online Store

List of Users who signed up, if we gather 8 users and stuck, then Me and Throme71 can get 2 lots to speed things up.

PM me and i will send you my email @ paypal

9. aarpcard- - Paid £21.5
10.Triturbo - Paid £21.5


PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NBR USERNAME IN PAYPAL TRANSACTION DETAILS

Each buyer to send the payment as a "Friends or family" type PLEASE as then i receive a FULL amount without any deductions !


So the list is full !

I originally declared to teke 2 lots to speed things up but had to give 1 away to @Triturbo since all lots are now Assigned !

 

Any indication how long of a lifespan these things have? Do we need to replace every few months like normal paste, or are these long life thermal pads?

 

Fantastic.
Guess we find when the deadline is and if we go for 2 each
Ill pay you when i know if i pay one or two.

They should last way way longer than paste.
They say they should be better and better and not degrade like paste.

 

Looking at the photo on the site, they removed the heat-spreader off the cpu and replaced the cheap thermal paste that Intel used on Haswell with heatspring also.

This example video on youtube, a desktop cpu has the heatspreader removed and re-pasted and the results were an 30-40c drop in temperatures, i wonder what temps he would have got with heatsprings.

If I remember correctly reborn2003 also was in for one lot as well.

edit: His initial test results are here and his post mentioning he wants to join the group buy is here with additional info on his thoughts on the product.

edit 2: Also aarpcard. His post is here.

 

Yup I'm in as well.

I've had HS installed on my M18x R1 for over 1 year now and still going strong. Longer in my M17x R2. When I removed the CPU heat sink just because I was curious the HS was the same as day 1 when I had installed it.

Cheers.

 

I'm in as well. When do we pay and/or what email do we PayPal? Put me down for two lots.

 

PM sent !

You can pay now if you like, or a bit later (1-2 days)

Thanks !

 

I will pay in a couple days, if that's ok (didn't see this before I PM'd you back). I just transferred funds from my bank to PayPal and will take 2-3 days.

Thanks!

 

I'm interested in this, but what's the minimal payment amount?

 

I'm in too

 

To get it speeded up, i paid for the two.

So the faster the rest moves for this, the faster we start.

 

I'll have to get my back account looked over first, but will try to pay it soon.
Flingin, mind pm-ing me your paypal details?

 

Actually, I was thinking, do 2 inch squares make a good idea? You can get four 1 inch squares out of a single 2 inch square. $295 for 20 2-inch squares. But then again, the ones unused/trimmed will be sitting free and not packaged, not sure if that matters as far as oxidation or anything.

My biggest concern is that the thermal resistance is lower than most thermal greases when psi > 40 which is questionable if a laptop pressure is much more than that. But I always enjoy testing this kind of stuff. Maybe a mod is in order.

 

Sending PM soon

minimum $35 for 5 heat springs Sir

You are on the list since you told me you are interested, let me know if anything changes

Thank you !

 

Only need one.
Let's put it like this.

If enough pay up soon, sangemaru can pay me and get the kit so he can have a little more time on his hands. I guess u dont get it within a week anyways xmas and all.
I guess you dont have the cash you dont order so this leaves you able to set a time limit perhaps?

 

Ok so i put Sangemaru as Paid and leave this between you to sort out the Payment.

I will have then 1 Lot to assign to

 

What about aarpcard? Technically he was in on the buy before this thread was created. Try PM'ing him to give him a heads-up. If he doesn't respond in time or he opts out the spot can go to whoever was next in line... just trying to be fair.

 

Yep i already PMd him, and he did not respond, i do not want to force anybody that is why we have ''Mobius 1'' in his place, who on the other hand also did not confirmed 100% just yet....


aarpcard, if you are there and want some HS - PM ME BRO !

 

Payment sent

EDIT: You have updated the first post, and I just read it. Tell me what's the difference that I'll have to cover in order to get the full amount.

 

I did the same, didnt know about the name, but i still did the friends and family thingy.

 

yep that would be £1.15

Cheers !

 

Done. Now we'll wait

 

If there is 10 different peeps interested, you could of course ask HTWingNut if he needed two or took it to make the deal happen.

 

Or wait until Tomorrow and see if other 2 peeps respond

I think somebody will eventually..

 

I'll make a payment tonight. Don't want to hold everyone up. Probably in the next hour as soon as I can access my computer.

Beamed from my G2 Tricorder

edit: £43.00 sent!

I wasn't quite clear what was going on based on the posts. Do we have 10 interested parties, so by taking two I would prevent someone else from getting one? If that's the case, I'll forfeit one of mine, although am interested in having two otherwise.

 

Ic Diamond testing across a wide variety of laptops have placed laptop heatsink pressure usually between 30 and 70 psi. Heatsprink is very ok at 30 PSI.

Many thanks bro, I'll be getting cash as late as the following tuesday-thursday, but maybe earlier. Let me know your own paypal by pm, then

 

Np Dude.
Better doing it this way so that flingin could get the order through and you still could get the thingies. You were the one starting this.

I'll PM you my paypal name.

 

I bough the heatsprings just now. I just have to fill and fax them end user agreement lol.

There is still 1 extra lot to take, for which I paid, and supposed to go to aarpcard who did not confirm the entry.

If nobody wants it i may sell excess on ebay...at a extra premium ! muahaha

If somebody wants to buy the last lot, you are welcome, just let me know by PM, this is the last chance ......



EDIT:

End User Agreement filled and Faxed. Now we just have to wait.

I would like to thank everybody for signing up and speedy Funds transfer.

Great Teamwork everybody !

oops! Just saw this - and your PM flingin. Been busy the last few days and didn't have much time to check the site. I'm still in if there's still room for me.

 

Aha !

Of course there is room, you are on the list !

Thanks bro

So what's the scoop? ETA, etc? No rush, just curious. Thanks.

 

Let us know when to start pm-ing addresses

 

I think i will know when they arrive on the beginning of the next week, just because I bought them just before the weekend.

I will update you as soon as I know something.

Uhm, didn`t someone from this forum test HeatSpring with his CPU and concluded that:
A) You need a very strong clamp from the heatsink for it to be effective.
B) It didn`t properly cool all cores on the CPU

?

 

I think if anybody from 9 users that would sign up would see this we would have been warned. Also, we have 1 user that can confirm the opposite, that it works as intended.

I think it is a matter of pressure being even across the CPU DIE, our alienwares are doing it just fine.

So o think we should be fine.

HopelesslyFaithful posted information about one of his CPU cores not cooled off properly if I remember correctly. He did his own experiement with HeatSpring.
That was a while ago though, and I haven`t kept up with his later updates.

One of the users that signed up for that debacle was reborn2003 who has been using it in his M18X for over a year now and is in on this group buy. He was the only user that reported some actual results back. As far as I know no-one else gave any feedback, not even HopelessyFaithful who created that thread on multiple forums.

If you could provide a link to the post with the info that you mention, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

And We have reborn2003 tests which are fine.

Let's hope the other one is just an isolated case.

We will have a lot more feedback once we start using it. I guess most users here will be quite the writers once its in place.

 

Last thing we want is to spread rumors and make everybody shake it's pants.

The reason I pushed our own thread and group buy is to actually provide feedback about something.

After first hearspring installations everybody from this thread will report the temps to me an i will make a nice chart from it.

It will eighter kill the idea or make everybody to invest in it....

It is not clearly said that we will all succeed, this is pure testing....just because I have loads of money I can't really spend

Yup that is what I meant, other thread died very quick.....

I plan on using it on desktops primarily, but also on a couple laptops. I did read that it requires decent clamp force to be more effective than paste, but we will see. A mod may be in order to increase the pressure, even slightly.

I'll definitely compare before / after with some of the more heat intensive apps/games.

 

Well, I wont have more pressure to give. Already moded the hell out of the c-clamps and thermal pads. It works or it doesnt

 

I read somewhere about using paper first, is it pressure paper to check the pressure is even before you use the heatspring, or did i just dream it.

John.

 

Yup, you can use it if you want.

Right in this moment i am exchanging emails with Karen Williams from Indium.

She told me they are already at capacity this week and on the next week they are closed, and they remain closed for shipments until the 2nd of January when they re-open. Which sucks.

So i asked her if she can squeeze us within this week.....lets hope for some good news soon.....

I will update you as soon as she replies.

 

Update

Good news bros, order ships on this Wednesday !

And I was thinking we will have to wait 3 weeks....yolo

Must admit, I am a sceptic, but will be fun to test.

Just seem odd that it glues to one surface but that it still "flows" so good that it removes any airbubbles and make great contact on entire die, over and over again and move heat away better than or as god as top brand extremely thin application of paste just to remove the tiny gaps in uneven surfaces.

 

It's a solid extremely thin piece of metal so I don't think it "flows". It looks like a piece of foil from the video. The thermal conductivity is so high that I think it negates any air pockets. As reborn said its not as good as the best paste on idle or load but I don't mind if it means I don't have to repaste again... ever

Our CPU's in the R2 involves much more work to repaste as we have to remove that magnesium cover to get the CPU heatsink. And wriggling all that cables through those tiny crevices and then forcing them back into place is bound to cause damage to them over time. If this works out well all we have to do to maintain the CPU temps is pull the CPU fan from the back and blow out the dust from the heatsink fins

I'm curious if a double layer nets us better results as the pressure would be slightly higher than a single layer.
