Komputers-Best Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I installed a cooler from a PC and attached a fan that is powered by a power supply and put the whole thing on a cooling stand. As a result, the processor temperature in idle 32-35, the load does not exceed 77 degrees, decreased by an average of 12 degrees, the temperature of the video card also dropped by 5-7 degrees. It turned out to be a collective farm, of course, but stable. 👀 Alienware 17 : Intel Core i7 4900QM @ 3.8Ghz | nVidia GeForce GTX 980M 8GB (OC) | 32gb DDR3 1600MHZ | x2 Samsung 860 Evo 500GB (Raid).

Komputers-Best Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 The fan blades on the photo are wrong, in fact they are the opposite. The processor frequency is 4.2Mhz, Throttling is minimal in load.

Eban Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 @Komputers-Best Hi, Just wondering. I have some of those small copper "shims" (I got from somewhere) same as in your pictures all over the heatsink. In your experience did they help with cooling at all? I just assume greater thermal mass in the heatsink? I'm about to lap my cicichen 4pipe heatsink because I have been using liquid metal for a long time and its all dried out unevenly. My normal temps are 45C (with undervolt) but lately I have been hitting 95C on some cores.

Komputers-Best Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 It helps only in combination with additional blowing on the radiator and it needs to be installed on the crystal, that is, first a good thermal paste, then a copper plate, then thermal paste again on the plate and you apply the radiator evenly from above, everything needs to be done carefully, and thermal pads need a little more layer so that the plate does not come off the crystal and presses well. The result: the idle temperature is from 29 degrees, the load is 77.

Yes I thought you might need another fan in conjunction with the copper shims to make a difference. Ok, now I know. Thank you.

Komputers-Best Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I actually talked about the 980M video card.

Komputers-Best Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 This procedure does not give anything to the 4900QM processor.. 1 Alienware 17 : Intel Core i7 4900QM @ 3.8Ghz | nVidia GeForce GTX 980M 8GB (OC) | 32gb DDR3 1600MHZ | x2 Samsung 860 Evo 500GB (Raid).
