Busta Bloodnut Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 I have an Alienware m17x r4 and want to upgrade the cpu to a used 3940xm from my m18x r2. I seen a past post on here where some users had a triple copper pipe heatsink for this specific cpu in their m17x 4's. I cannot seem to find those particular heatsinks ANYWHERE. Like, even google images doesn't come up with any images of such a heatsink. Not saying they dont exist, but like, i would at least see an old image of one on google at least from past sales or w/e. Are they THAT rare? Do i have to go to cicichen594 for a custom one?

I purchased a modified radiator from cicichen. It used to be directly listed in his lot list, but now it seems to be gone. However, I am sure that if you contact him, he will assist you. I am attaching a photo that was included in the lot at that time.

I figured I would have to go to the legend himself for one. Just bought a custom cpu heatsink for my m18x r2 from this cicichen lol. Thank you for answering my inquiry.
