    Why not approach your local university and get the engineering students to design heat sinks and then do comparisons/testing. Winning student gets a computer for their studies. Promo for Linus, Uni and sponsor company, wins all round.

      98ahni - thermal cameras cannot read the temperature of reflective surfaces, the kind of surface effects the readings taken. Reflective metals are particularly prone to false readings, which is why they are normally painted or taped when readings need to be taken.

    Note about soldering heatpipes: You can solder them, you just need to use a different type of solder. Personally, I use this stuff called ChipQuik, it's a different alloy that melts well below the explosion temperature of heatpipes. I recommend either a VERY powerful soldering iron or a pencil torch, heatpipes are hard to warm up by design.
    That thermal epoxy is probably one of the biggest performance losses.
    Also, heatpipe bending is easy, just a couple rules: 3x pipe diameter is minimum bend radius, this is to protect the inner capillary lining that allows the heatpipe to function. I recommend using bending springs and a template, that worked very well for me.
    And an important note about heatpipe selection: Not all heatpipes are created equal. There are different capillary linings that are more or less effective and which operate in different positions. Sintered heatpipes are best f you're going to be in a variety of orientations, ridged heatpipes are horizontal only, but can carry way more energy because the fluid can flow faster.

    Woah woah throw away those grinding discs you used to grind on the aluminum right away. You never use regular grinding discs on soft metal such as aluminum. The metal can get embedded into the disc throwing it off balance and spinning at 10k-15k rpm will cause it to shatter throwing shrapnel everywhere. Also becareful placing the grinder down on the disc. The same issue can happen if you smack the grinding disc into a hard surface. Had one guy at work split his guts open because the grinding disc exploded.

      John Morales the second part is right, you never set it down on the disc, but spinning at 15k rpm shouldn't make it fail seeing as operating rpm is 11-12k. theyre supposed to have the max rpm printed on them, which is usually 22k or higher, ive seen 60k on really good discs

      @NPC #19548796 'Tolerances would be sloppy using only a drill press. Need a mill'... Riiiiight, no. Drill presses are used to drill holes to a few microns tolerances. Mills are for for milling and drills are for for drilling. Just because a mill has a drive designed for axial pressure doesn't mean it is magically more accurate than a drill. Good drills have fantastic linear stability and will blow most mills out of the park when making straight holes, especially on run out. Each tool has a purpose, and they excel at that.

    • @D4ng3rB0yc3
      @D4ng3rB0yc3 Před 5 lety +7

      Thermal shrinkage isn't a weld, it's a compressive type of contact. The materials dont fuse like in welding but rather clamp down. It's a compression join, rather than a weld which is meaning making the two parts into one solid. A thermal joint like this can still be undone with a controlled cooling and heating unlike a weld which will require cutting, since both materials are not just bonded but fused or mixed.
      Friction welding is a different but totally cool topic you can look up.

Then you could cut the aluminum fins you had in half and put them on either side, if you had a 140mm intake fan'd probably have a really cool looking passive style cooler
