    I really hope your build is going well. Keep checking back to see if you have made an update to see how you knock it out of the park. If not for you I wouldn't have though to use a hotplate to finish modding my GP66 to be bicooled, I can't thank you enough. Can't wait to see how your build ends up!

    I just run my laptop with the case open, with an extra fan.
    Definitely interested in this project tho,
    Would be nice to get something like this going.

    12:23 You could use a thermal bridge or a small radiator on the inductance, remove heat from it. Usually these inductances conduct heat well, because they have a large density and a large soldering area to the board. Also, if the choke heats up a lot, you can choose a choke of a slightly larger size, it will have a higher saturation current and heat up less. The last I personally checked by replacing such chokes with larger one.

    Excellent DIY👍Indeed custom water pipe copying layout of the heatpipes and major heat dissipating components should deliver even better results. Hopefully GCX will come up with something like that in the future.

    Nice project man, you can add on top of that cooling mod a custom made cooling pad.
    I've buy 2x 140mm Artic p14 pwm co, 1 12v fan controller with knobs, a cheap 12v power brick. Than i have add some soft rubber strip on top of the fan case (to make a good seal against underneat panel), i also have do a cheap support to all that and i have 7 to 10°C lower temp with 1000/1200rpm less, basically from 15 to 20°C with fixed laptop fan speed. With that i can cool all the component that are overclocked (now cpu, ram, chipset, forced max dynamic boost, custom unvervolt progressive curve for gpu, n°5 in the world with cpu profile for 11800h with an 1050€ laptop and numer 62 in timespy for 11800h and 95w 3060mobile).
    Obviously to have a good result you need to cover all the air intakes with the fan area, but using Artic p14 pwm c0 i have the same noise as the noctua with less noise from laptop fan, much more cooling for all the components and i have spend oly 50€. Try it, you can have some serious improvement.
    Also, if you're not using liquid metal, use Honeywell ptm 7950 sheet version, the best themal interface after liquid metal but without the risk of shotrcircuit.

      Actually no. For my daily system I don't use the watercooling mod. But I totally should since the fans are too loud for my taste. Temperatures however are fine, even on air. This laptop model trades it with loud fans though

    Aliexpress sells pre-bent water pipe with knurled insert nuts soldered at the ends. They are really soft and really easy to bend.I end up routing with my own pipe since the ones they sell aren’t long enough. I used some thin refrigerant pipe and hammered it flat to around 2.5mm so it fits without modification. I got almost 30C drop to under 60C on the GPU with a passive cooled water loop. I have a post on Reddit but I couldn’t post link here rip

    Wow i missed this new series and i'm catching up only now, again, really cool project. Sometimes the modding process satisfies more than using the product itself ang getting useful results even more! For the custom part are you going to use round pipes? you can follow the hestsink shapes and heights with a round pipe and after that you can crush it to obtain a more oval shape for better surface area and easy soldering...like a heatpipe😂

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  Рік тому +1

      Yep I will share it on my website soon :) But keep in mind that it is made for use without the whole bottom case, not just without the bottom lid/cover. I could make another updated version with shortened pillars for usage without bottom lid/cover only. You will need longer M2.5 screws though. Also beware that under the middle screw hole is the PCB. If you screw in a screw which is too long you can damage the mainboard.
      Give me some days to update my website and you will find the STL there.

    Great series. Do you think you can improve cooling even more by maybe adding additional heat pipes to the fan or does the Fan not have enough space for that?

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  Рік тому +1

      No space left, no. But I don't think the heatpipes are the problem. I think it's the fan stack's surface area. If that would be bigger the laptop would be cooler. Plus the fans need more room on the intake side.

    pretty cool project though personally id love to have a mod that can easily be removed so base laptop can still be used as is my plan for an aio setup is to just mount the cold plate on top of the copper heatsinks and add thermal paste to it instead of thermal pads but it will get a bit messier

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  Рік тому

      The base laptop can be used as is. The heatsink with the waterpipe on top still works as it used to. The laptop can still sit flat on table just as before. You only need to drain the waterpipe before every transport.

I actually didn't take into account the fact that it is important to use a paste that has the lowest possible melting point, to avoid compromising the other saltings on the original structure of the dissipating solution.

    Valiant effort, love it.
    But what really grinds my gears is how laptops are even designed to overheat so much. Every laptop I've owned since 2015 had major overheating problems, I've had 2 razers, a lenovo and now I got a ASUS ROG Zephirus. Still the same nonsense design. I've been using a fan stand on all of em and they can't handle webbrowser + a game open at the same time without risking overheating.
    TBF I tend to have 50 tabs open but still. I just hate having my laptop overheat and crash so frequently, it only gets worse over time, even factory resetting only works for a month or so before problems come back again.

      Still ridiculous how laptops manufactures don't seem to address this at all. They put all the specs on their computer as if assuming the whole thing will be submerged in mineral oil and can't overheat. None of these specs are ever accurate.
