DIY - Two techniques to put heatsinks back on

[@Pepaw-Bill]

Thank you. Best demo on simple heat sink install on KZbin.

[@mufeedco]

Nice technique 👌

[@thusharadananjaya6574]

Great job 👏

[@Jorge-jy4hn]

Hi friend mine wont stick you know what kind of solder this use, because the temp is right i can make loose the other heatsinks with the same temp but this one wont stick

[@rfr653]

Good job mate.

[@Saywhatohno]

Your videos are amazing!! do you put the solder on the back of the heat sink and on the chip first and then heat it up? what solder do you use? what about thermal paste?

[@karapetkhachatryan3914]

Hi, what about the bolls when u push little strong on chip?

[@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse]

After you've soldered the chip you should not have to push it down anymore. If you do, you are very very likely to ruin the work you just did. In case of the heatsink needing moving, if done right you won't be melting the solder on the chip.

[@asicrepaircanada159]

I you mean pushing the heatsink on the chip: if you have solder balls squeezing out, you probably have too much solder on there. I basically never add any solder.

Very comprehendible videos. Keep on good work. Hope more videos will follow.

Awesome video. Do you work on Avalon miners? I have an 1166pro that's in need of repair.

[@asicrepaircanada159]

No sorry. Bitmain products only at this time. I'm trying to slow down for summer too so I can enjoy the summer.

[@kamkoum99]

Can i use this method on any miner instead of thermal glue

[@webby459]

Can you recommend a soldering station for this work? I see a few 2 in 1 units on amazon, not sure if one is highly preferred.

[@asicrepaircanada159]

They are all pretty much the same honestly. I personally don't like 2 in 1 units but if that's the way you want to go, nothing wrong with that. Your actual temperatures might be a bit off from what they are supposed to be but that's not a big deal in my opinion.

hello friend can u say me a way for test second hand BM1397 before attached on hashboard ?

[@asicrepaircanada159]

There are a few testers on the market now I think. I personally don't use any. When I reuse old chips, I test them on the original board first. For new chips, I don't think I have had a bad one yet. Best way to test a chip is to put in on a board and go from there.

May i know what microscope are you using? Thank you

[@asicrepaircanada159]

I love my amscope: amscope.com/collections/stereo-microscopes-industrial-inspection/products/sm-4tz-144a. When I went from a usb microscope to a proper optical one, it was night and day. With a proper microscope, you don't rely on a sensor to create the image you are looking at.

[@af6727]

That's a solid way to do it! May I know your temp and airflow settings on your Atten?

[@asicrepaircanada159]

My station is pretty much always at 340 degrees C and 60% air. I bump the temp up and the air down when I solder small components so that I don't blow them away.

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

@@asicrepaircanada159 so you put a dab of solder on the chip then add the heat sink? Or you keep the same solder that was there when you took the heat sink off??

[@xplodegaming192]

What temp do you usually set your heat gun too?
