Idea Help, Black Ridge or similar cooler but extended
- Thread starter AURMEND
- Start date
The dual black ridge doesnt have liquid metal.
I dont know the quality of these heatpipes also. have to cut one.
fo for the highest quality heatpipe i need to pay up to $30 each instad of $6 each

something is not right... might be the use of liquid metal and bad soldering on the COU block and 2nd rad. te,ps should have beem closer to 80c with the industrial fan on the 2nd rad
So when the new heatpipes are re inserted, is that where you are using liquid metal to try to get them to conduct heat to the fins, as a replacement for the solder right?
Edit: also, any concerns of the liquid metal particles dropping onto the board?

That's what I need help with. First i learned that my block to heatpipe soldering was trash. Then this:
I need help finding the correct solder, as you can see my solder is full and the black ridge solder is shiny
It technically can bond, but to do so it requires the oxide layer on the aluminium to be broken through, which requires a really strong (acidic, I think?) flux, abrasion (without exposure to air) or both. It can be done, but only under very favorable conditions. The more made for purpose solders and fluxes do this job much better than ordinary electronics solder.
I found an issue. Cheap heatpipes vs black ridge. That and i didn't have good solder on the block

Super jank, but an alternative to liquid cooling if i had the right manufacturer or a lot of money to offer my services
I don't have the personality for it, Or the thought process to make everything in order. You should see what i have done to my motorcycle. Right now I'm waiting for parts for the case and this cooler and it's getting pretty boring. You should see my military awards for my little ass corporal self, puts a lot of higher ranks to shame.
I just got the steam deck pre order and I'm going to make a better cooling solution that LTT made
Yeah, there's so much room on the back there, I don't understand why they didn't use a larger, flatter heatsink instead. Looking forward to seeing your take on it!
This kind of stuff is why I frequent the forum.
I'm probably going to add another fin stack on top of the one installed. And make everything symmetrical. Maybe hands a heatpipe depending on the space between the backplate and the OG heatpipe. I was able to order a second spare backplate from ifixit 2 weeks ago.
Does anyone know somewhere where i can find a website that tells me the specs of laptop fans without individually looking at datas heets?
