    Hi there guys,

    Soooo about vapor chamber...

    I've been looking around for one for my GPU and other for the CPU but i can't find them anywhere, then i found out alibaba and they make custom vapor chambers.

    Than of course i asked one of those vendors about making them for my notebook and for my surprise he asked me if i have some drawings or pictures for it...

    I am thinking about trying to measure the points the fins all of it but hey i don't have a precision digital caliper...

    Have any of you guys tried this... could it be viable?? Can someone help out with some measures?!?!

    Ty and any words are appreciated!!

    The question is cost and quality.

    I don't mind it if there's the possibility of my cpu/gpu running colder

    I think if i don't have the measurement i cannot do this....

    The guy from alibaba sent me this message:

    Hi,

    We couldn't calculate the dimension of the product, and the drawing is necessary, sir. If you have it, please send it to us.

    Thanks&Regards

    Why not measure your unit?

    You need to get the measurements down perfectly. Otherwise lack of contact pressure and poor agilment will render it useless.

    Yeah down to the nearest 0.25mm would be ideal.
