      Also on a side note, their project on the water cooling Room and PC's could have been so much better and cheaper, with a little advice by a real engineer. But I guess that would have killed some of the fun in watching the video, for some at least.

    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.

    • @TheDefpom
      @TheDefpom 6 лет назад +124

      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.

    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.

Angle grinders are a really powerful tool that needs a lot of respect when being used.

      Any old milling machine from the 80s and some of the 90s that is sized for small projects would be cheaper than their red cameras. The biggest issue would be the 3 phase electric bill and carbide or hardened tool steel bits for them. Also the amount of knowledge needed to operate one without destroying their bits every 30 seconds because they have rpms cranked to high or low.

So now you understand many of the processes at play. One word of caution, be very careful with large gardening-style gloves, don't get too wound up in your work.

    Hey guys, some tips for your safety and to make life much much easier. When cutting aluminium with a friction type disc, get a block of bees wax or bees wax candle and apply it to the disc. This lubricates the disc as alum gets quite soft when hot and grabs the disc which risks it exploding in your face. Second when drilling materials a simple rule of thumb, hard material=slow speed lotsa feed and the inverse of course soft materials =high speed soft feed and if your drill squeals its rubbing not cutting. And 3rd when you are cutting profiles in materials like the cpu mating plate, a jigsaw with the appropriate blade will be a godsend. Happy fabricating lads

      TeddtheTiger while that’s somewhat true, even being a non machinist, but avid DIY'er, some of the things they do makes me cringe... For instance wearing gloves near a drill-press is a good way to loose a finger...
      Sure it’s entertaining to see them fumble with things to a point, but with the material they had, and a little more though beforehand, like planning the layout of the heat pipes out before they went for it, or actually drilling with some measure of accuracy, the end result could actually have been a fair bit better with little or no more cost, and actually less time, if they had some experience with using tools, or had someone help them just a little...

    @landtimforgot 3 года назад

    I've come to this late. Induction shrink fitting is a better solution than thermal epoxy if you can machine to reasonable tolerances and do the calculations re thermal expansion. Rather than bending heat pipes, you could possibly use LOTS of vertical straight ones. Spacers made of low thermal expansion materials between aluminum fins would help too whilst the thing cools down.
    An all copper solution should be possible.
    Use of high copper amalgam is possibility instead of thermal epoxy, but local laws can be very strict about use of mercury.

      Benjamin Boone I once had a laptop with an extremely anemic heatsink. They used a thin aluminum/copper shim to transport heat from an ivy 3317U to an anemic fan 3-4 inches away that doesn't have fins (Asus x202e). Odd how the Pentium models have heatpipes and fins though. Anyhow, I taped pennies on the heatsink so it can absorb more heat and soldered some diy fins in the fan by using those bendy metal things in paper folders. From thermal throttling at 10 seconds it went to 1-2 minutes and you can actually feel heat leaving the fan.

    The cuts, probably best done via a stack up and Wire EDM cut for consistency, need to include a couple of holes, into which copper or aluminum bolts can be ran through to tie it all together and create a sandwich.
    If the fins are designed correctly, it might be easy to include a way to mount the heat sink to the motherboard and attach a fan to that as well.
