P775DM3 Water Cooled Heatsink

Anyone try out one of these heatsinks?

Looks to be a nice upgrade over stock, even just the air cooled only version looks pretty nice. Before I become the guinea pig and order one I'm hoping to see if anyone else has bit the bullet or knew about them. Also it feels nice to post in here, I've got a couple other notebooks but I got this laptop at such a great buy that I have some mod money left over. Figure I should get all the modding out of the way while it's brand new. I7 7700k, GTX 1080, NVME Samsung 970 and 32gb of ram. Pretty good upgrade over my 6700hq, 1060 MSI laptop

 

You can view an alienware be water cooled with a similar heatsink in linustechtips channel:


The result:

Spoiler

The water cooling mod wasn't worth it

 

So I did some gaming of Star Wars Battlefront 2 Arcade while waiting on the full download. Couldn't monitor temps in game but had HWMonitor going in background. CPU hottest core hit 96c and GPU hit a core of 92c. So with Clevo making it so easy to pop this open I took off the heatsink for a repaste. Looks like previous owner never bothered to clean the poor radiator. Cleaned off factory paste and put some Artic MX4. Nothing fancy but between the paste and cleaning my CPU now tops at 82c and GPU 56c. So far I'm pretty happy with the laptop.

 

Well darn, that looks to not be too promising so far. I mean if the return policy was good I might give it a go but I really don't feel like throwing my money away if the stock heatsink outperforms the ones I'm looking at. I still wonder why Clevo revised the heatsink so many times though. Seems like they really skimped on cooling with this model

 

The heatsink on our laptop works great and Clevo did a great job with it. If you want an improved on refreshing the laptop, try buying the P775TM1 version. The pipes are a tiny bit larger and works a bit better

see my thread dude , might help you out.

 

I have this exact heatsink, it's worked well enough for me. I have not yet bothered to watercool it, but I did fill it with watercooling fluid and cap it for a period of high use (about 2 months).

The best part of this unit is it DOES fit the P775 and P75x laptops (but will protrude from the rear of the P75x, and the back cover needs modifications), and fits both 1xxx and 2xxx Nvidia cards.

Mine now is presently awaiting a home - I had disassembled my P775 to reassemble a P750, which was defective. Now the parts are kind of hanging around.

 

@thewizzard1 did it performed better then the non unified heatsinks on the p775tm1?

 

@Cylix101 On par, but I never did a ton of testing. I meant to, but never got around to it.
Idle temps were down, for sure, and the thermal mass is MUCH higher.

 

I see, wondering about when ill upgrade the GPU if its worth it to buy it instead of the clevo standard one, prices are almost the same, but ill use it with air, no water pump.

 

You happen to have any pictures of the one you had been using? I was leaning more towards the air cooled only version but some quick connects like the Asus GX800 would be pretty cool

 

@Ari3sgr3gg0 Here ya go. The connectors on the back are modular, they screw in. I forget the size, but it's standard. The fins are the exact same size as those on the stock heatsink, and the heatpipe volume seems to be the exact same.

 

Are the screws spring loaded or do you borrow them from the original?

 

I had it originally with spring loaded screws, but then I switched to solid screws with a thick (2-3mm) medium rubber washer to keep it level. Mounting is fiddly, but done with much care. I have oodles salvaged from other video cards and others.

 

It's always nice to have a spares bin to raid that's true!
