DIY laptop heatsink mod. Time has come to upgrade my Lenovo g510 i7 4700mq cooling system to dual heat pipes. I'm hoping to have more temperature headroom to allow me to push all cores to 3Ghz. Currently, I can stress test my CPU at 2.6GHZ on all 4 cores without overheating. With a max stable temp of 86-94C.
Obviously, I am not going to just buy a dual heatsink system and swap it in. But where is the fun in that? I'll be taking the more adventurous route instead. Modding mine by adding another Heatpipe (sourced from a cheap second-hand Fujitsu Siemens heatsink system) to upgrade it from single to a dual heat pipe system. See how I desolder and test the heat pipes before installation.
What I used in the video:
- Spare heat sink from a Fujitsu Esprimo laptop, bought used.
- Cheap 2-speed dual heat gun using the hotter setting to melt solder.
- Rosin-based liquid soldering flux
- K type thermocouple fo test heat pipe heat transfer.
