thanks a lot, do you happen to remember the pads thickness?

I did everything as in the picture on the heatsink page from Aliexpress. Then I removed the heatsink, and made sure that everything is ok.

So tempted to buy that heatsink..but when you wrote it arrived borked and bent I kinda stopped. Wonder if the aliexpress version (375euros with everything included I hope) has better quality..though I doubt it. I suppose the ssd heatsink is separate from that package

I ordered, currently in progress. I'm afraid of that too, but if there's any problem, there's customer protection. I paid directly with PayPal and after the package arrives, I will take a video of the resolution and the proof that it has already arrived! (so I didn't cause it - this is good if the contents of the package are damaged)

When receiving the package, you must pay attention to external damage, if damage is already there, you must write a report with the courier.😉

taobao or aliexpress?

Меня бы заинтересовало соединение трубы, которое подключается к водяному радиатору ноутбука. Глядя на него, это просто обычный соединитель (труба), который не является чем-то особенным, если смотреть на картинку. Мнение?

 

 

У меня есть оригинальный запасной комплектный кулер для компьютера X170, и оба (части процессора и графического процессора) отполированы. Процессор был удален год назад.

 

 

 

Я использую шайбу под винт, чтобы пружинная часть винта не изнашивала поверхность. Я также получил специальные винты от друга, занимающегося обслуживанием ноутбуков. (Я еще не использовал его - оригинальный винт все еще используется) У меня также есть оригинальные винты (полный комплект), потому что источником покупки была немецкая XMG / Schenker.

 

 

(полиамидная винтовая шайба)

 

и полный набор винтов для X170 (серия)

 

 

 

специальный винт

 

 

Я действительно думаю о приобретении такого водяного радиатора, И я бы добавил к нему контроллер (насос, радиатор, вентилятор и т. Д.), Но я немного боюсь, что это будет просто пустой тратой денег... 😒😔

Just an idea.I think if you remove these stickers, then the efficiency of the cooling system should theoretically increase.These stickers cover a significant area of the cooling radiator and worsen the heat sink.

Taobao.

I'll leave it at that, but thanks anyway. The ordered water block is arriving slowly and it will be even better! (I hope) Anyway, I don't have a problem with the factory one.😊

It could be a local problem of my particular order. I would not extend my experience to everyone, but I thought it necessary to warn about this.
Sellers from aliexpress usually pack well, so ordering from there I would be less worried about it.

Trust me they are not. When I ordered my heatsink from AliExpress for way too much money it still arrived with bent fins and very rough surface for the GPU and CPU (litterally scratched my GPU die because of this). So I spent a good time unbending the fins and polishing the GPU and CPU surfaces...

I still gotta check because I need an account to actually view the product, is everything included? The ssd heatsink and fans for instance.

[FTW_260]

@joe4kyoFans and heatsink for ssd are sold separately.

Existing ventilators mount you are the new heatsinks and almost ready one.
The thermal is yet bench loading.

Good luck! 😉😆

[Bidelloman]

Well, I tried everything to get that dreaded taobao website to work, 3 people around the country and still everyone with the " detected unusual activities on your network", took me days to actually get registered with a real phone number, first time I try to login, account frozen for "very serious reasons", and the only answer I got was to contact their support and show ID cards etc. But the most common suggestion was to have an alipay account verified with which to login without failure..

GuessI'll have to do without the heatsink.

 

Edit: finally discovered how to use it, with agents and such, and managed to purchase it, will see what's what when it gets here, should also get pads.

Hi, is there any Linux software for our notebooks?

 

UPD Found this: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Arch-Linux-and-Manjaro-on-TUXEDO-computers.tuxedo

Unfortunately, it is not compatible with it, nor with the X170 model.

 

It is probably a stupid question , but why not ? I mean , that connections can be changed if that is the problem .

Simple.

A completely different series. The X170 cannot be built on the unique, other (machine model) Heatsink.😊

 

X170

 

Oasis

[ymsv]

I was meaning the pump unit only . As far as I know presently there is an ongoing modification of Apex , with a plan also the Oasis pump unit to be used .

There indeed seem to be a number of instructions on their site with regard to how to install Linux on them.

Yes, not cheap! You have to order something else and it's more worth it.

Mine is also parcelup, it auto selected fedex regardless of my own choices, did contact them on this. "Volume weight" is double the actual listed weight.

 

I just hope they do not use the same perfect heatsink pictures as proof before sending..

I could choose from three. EMS, DHL, Air Mail,

 

 

 

 

I could choose which one. I chose Air Mail.

i chose DHL, but wasn't chosen.

 

Apparently it was done to avoid congestion as the shipping price was the same.

The people do not know who, no matter who, tried to install xeon in these laptops?

They should be compatible but no reason to put Xeons because they are not better than the top end i9? Or am I missing something here?
