If it's not tall enough then it will not seal is the issue and if it's too tall it will impact the fit.

 

Could use K5Pro

 

What is K5Pro? google brings up a lot of stuff, but nothing specific.

And does anyone know if you can attach together 2x 1mm AlphaCool 17w thermal pads together to make it a 2mm pad. Would this work?

Pads replacement

 

Thank you. I learn something everyday

 

Super messy though.

I use k5 pro and it is not messy. I thought it would be but the paste does not run out. It actually stays on my chokes and when cleaning up, it is super easy to remove with the gc extreme spreader lol.

Still a very good option if you try to hinder Liquid metal leakage.

Never a good idea.

 

I tried using one of the very delicate 0.5mm thermal pads and I was pretty sure it was going to work. Well, I was totally wrong, LOL. It was enough resistance to interfere with die contact. I believe, in spite of how soft and fragile it seemed to be, when two flat surfaces came together it resisted compression too much and my temps were crazy high because the heat sink wasn't touching the GPU die. I put Conductonaut on just the die to see how it worked and planned to remove it to apply Conductonaut to the heat sink as well. When I took it apart there was no Conductonaut on the heat sink. It was bone dry.

Yes, that low density foam is the safest bet. As I showed, the foam I used is compressible down to nothing with no effort. There is no pressure resistance to the heat sink and it worked perfectly.

Man, Bitspower was fast this time. From order to delivery was 5 days this time.

@D2 Ultima

 

Probably a preferred customer perk.

 

Maybe. That would be the third one.

I see they removed the thinner KBL version from their web site. Apparently nobody wanted that, and I can't say that I blame them. The taller SKL version makes more sense. I suspect they started seeing enough demand for them that they produced a bit of inventory instead of waiting for orders and making them on demand.

 

I'm pretty sure some people who experienced heavy heat problems with Kaby, but had very good temp with older Skylake chips, could lower the max temp if they re-used their Skylake's original IHS on Kaby. I talk about original Intel lid. Not Bitspower lid.

 

Possibly so. Is the stock 6700K taller like the Bitspower IHS? I thought they were the same height, but I never compared them.

 

Could be that the Skylake's lid is more even/flat.

 

Day 8 and I am still waiting for my 2x BitsPower heat spreaders (lids) lol.
Also day 7 and I am still waiting for my second load of 17w/mk AlphaCool thermal pads and cleaning kits. I bought over £400 worth just on pads in two orders, first one came in 4 days, the 2nd one should've been here at this price but then again I added all the freebies on the last order. I want that freebie Phobya mug really bad lol (and stickers too)

I'm planning to do @Mr. Fox GPU thermal pad layout and Grizzly conductonaut low density foam plan, @Papusan & @Mr. Fox IHS BitsPower lapping. And @Meaker@Sager CPU heatsink thermal pad layout. With a sweet under-volt 2.0 too.
Photos and temps coming soon...

The second BitsPower Sky Lake IHS that I will have, will be sent to my friend to mould it ready to create a .999 silver IHS heat spreader just for sh!ts and giggles. And hopefully create a 2nd mould with a slightly wider IHS surface for extra heat transport. Someone's got to try it

My neighbour will have to drink out this old crappy mug from now on lol



Check the order with the freebies out! this is what extends the dispatch time..

 

Swweet! Looking forward to seeing your results.

 

Great Take pict off the finish when the .999 lid is delivered. Must be perfect. If not you should melt it and make a silver jewelery for your partner(if you have one)or your neighbour

 

@Papusan
It needs to be made first pal. The moulder I know works daft'o'clock on other stuff. Also I have E-mailed a casting company about the finishing and casting procedure. It might be a long time yet... If the silver IHS never works as good as the BitsPower though, then I still hold a commodity in my hand, similar to them silver eagle coins

P.S: My neighbour gets left overs as he is a proud owner of a MSI gt72vr BGA TurdBook. I normally invite him over to take the micky out of him. And as for my #2 girlfriend that's living with me now, well I don't buy her nothing... Only LCD cleaning wipes for my XB271HU monitors to be cleaned. It sounds horrible, but she likes it that way
#1 doesn't like #2 anymore because of this. I don't know what to do perhaps she will come back.
but anyways! more time for me to mod my computers

 

I like when people say a GTX 1080/1080Ti is overkill for 1080p.

Dying Light:

 

How do you keep that thing so cool?!

 

Single GPU is pretty cool on this thing usually (esp with max fans) but honestly it just was not running for long in the above shot xD.

I later enabled SLI and locked it to 124fps and I maxed out around 61/59 for the GPUs and 72 for the CPU (which honestly was oft in the high 80% total usage range). The GPUs were averaging between 50% each to 75% each depending on the action so I'd say it wasn't too bad.

No, our island is a bit bigger than Gilligan's. But we have coconut internet so...

Please no coconut lol go over reddit and read the tifu sub about coconuts ahahah

I checked it. How the hell did you stumble on something like that? Is there something that you like to share with the Clevo community plee82?

#Joking

its one of them things:
Just don't Google Image search a "naked otter" with "Safe Search" off lol.

 

Actually it's a little more like

 

$1000 for a non rackmount router?

 

It comes mounted to the top of a Coconut Tree, that's not cheap

 

Ah but is it organic? I like my products to damage the environment as much as possible

 

That's in TTD but it's about $160 USD translated. The $1900 one is about $300 USD

A growing Coconut Tree is kinda the definition of "Organic", although IDK if it is a GMO

 

Ah I see, that's not too bad then.

 

I guess, but considering min wage here is $15 our currency (or about $2.10 USD) per hour, you can understand how expensive these things are to us

 

Yeah, pretty large chunk of your income on that.

 

True! hehe

 

I have used "Klingspor auto-paper" weatherproof sand paper with water on one of my BitsPower lids. I have started with 800 grit and worked my way up to 2000 grit. It has taken me 2 hours and I get this crap finish! why?
Can someone please give me some tips. I have placed the sandpaper on a flat ceramic tile, so why is there scuff marks?
Sorry for the photo quality, my camera lens has a crack on it

 

I don't know how you managed this finish, but bling bling glass finish doesn't make a big difference. The point is making the IHS flat/even

 

Thank you Papusan. I thought it had to be a mirror finish. Much appreciated. I think it's the quality of the sand paper. I'm going to pick up some other brand today. I'm going to give it one more try...

 

Bought different sandpaper. It has worked great. I'm going to spend more time on it tomorrow hopefully.

 

A lot better +rep. But don't shave off all the copper and miss the advantage of thicker IHS

 

Yes, mounting pressure is a problem with laptop heatsinks, and the less copper there is, the less mounting pressure you have. Even if it's micrometers. Focus on making it flat with as little removed as possible, so you gain more in temp reduction from flat to flat surface, than you lose in reduction of PSI pressure.

 

I have finished lapping the BitsPower IHS and I have put it on my 7700k CPU with Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal and I have removed the C-clips from the CPU heatsink aswell. I have also added GC liquid metal on my 2x GTX 1080 GPU's. I have created a foam barrier with kapton tape for the CPU and GPU's. I am still waiting for my AlphaCool 17w/mk thermal pads to come though. But I thought I will try liquid metal on the CPU & GPu's for a week until I get them, as I want to see the mess it will do after a week. I am going to do some benchmarks when the 17w/mk thermal pads come. These are my 5 minute boot-up hitting 85w on CPU package, and CPU prep work, Nothing special...

 

After 3+ hours of 7680x1440 gaming (with accessories display), browsing and idling. -70mv adaptive, Looking good
Check "Up Time" on HWiNFO64 on the bottom right hands side of the program...

 

Happy LM camper
Maybe tell bro @hmscott (who don't like Liquid metal) what temp difference you received vs. conventional thermal paste. If you don't have the correct numbers, you may have about(approximate)...

 

Please stop including me in posts about LM, no matter the benefit, it can't outweigh the risk.

For every success there are a percentage of total failures that get nothing, lose everything.

Use non-conductive paste, if you screw that up you can re-paste until you get it right, spill LM onto electronic components, and the games over.

 

Sorry. But You asked for numbers. I shall not tag you (include you in post) as you don't want it, next time when we talk about LM. But Always nice having numbers for later posts, although some don't want LM on their computer components.

Edit. As Numbers can speak for themselves.

 

I see your point, but professionals or those of experience aren't risking much. Certainly a lot less than a professional skydiver. I think you've done a terrific job of bringing concern to the forefront so novices understand the risks. You could argue that there are risks in plugging in these beasts and the potential to burn down your house is there. Yeah, okay fine. Let those of us who want to take the risk do so with the comfort of your advice as a guideline of safety.
