1... 2... or 3... Stock heatsink mod. - Page 2 - Overclock.net

Dell workstation F3543 heatsink. Its quite small, but I expect it to cool a C2D better than the plain stock I have at the moment. I'm gonna test on my P4 coz when upped to 4ghz it could cook a side of lamb.

If it deals with that, then a C2D will be no problem. Its gonna be a while though, I still have some parts waiting to be sorted that I can afford until I sell off my old bits.

Being sold to mate = Soundblaster Live/P4/775Xfire VSTA/Stock cooler.
Already have = Conroe Xfire eSATAII/4Gb DDR2 PC2-6400/Case/HDD's/DVD drive.
Need to get = a cheap C2D/HD4670/2x80mm fans.

I would also recommend a push/pull fan config, nice to see such great HS modding ideas!

By the way, which type of fan are you planning to use?

SLeeZeY · 02-03-09

I was thinking 2x80mm, but depending on how wide it is exactly, I might put a similar sized fan on the front to push, and a bigger one on the back to pull, if only to drag more air in through the sides (would like a bit to pull heat off the northbridge HS I've already modded)...

^sort of like that, I spread the fins apart to allow better air flow.

Its here, and its bigger than I thought.

Can't see well in the pic, but the base is huge, I'm gonna kill my arm sawing through that lol

Just buy one? I wouldnt expect that thing to do any better than stock after modding.

Hmm... so cutting the base carefully to fit my mobo will magically make the copper base and heatpipes disappear, thus becoming more or less the same at the tiny chunk of badly machined aluminium I already have from intel.

Nah, I don't think so

... Though, I find this a bit confoozling.

Yeah his logic is fubar'd. Theres more copper in a Mars bar than my stock HS lol This Dell thingy weighs a tonne and is mostly pure copper, the edge of the base is aluminium though.

I put it on the mobo earlier to see where I have to cut it, and it sort of fits perfect one way (with the heatpipes in line with the IO and RAM but I want it rotated 90* so when I put the fans on they can push pull towards the IO vent, but then I have two capacitors in the way so I might get away with only nipping off the corners (of which all four sit perfectly over the holes of the stock shaped HS's).

So I can put it on the way I want and lose the corners and will have to make a clamp. Or put it on the way I don't want too bt only have to drill holes in the corners for screws.

Pics when I find new batteries.

Cameras a no go

phtoshop'd will do.

Easiest way is to just drill some holes and bolt it on (pic no.1), but the pipes won't get all the air they could.

See what I mean, if I want the pipes blown over I have to mount it like in no.2 with the ends sawn off and a clamp/bracket.
