The Heatpipe Mod on XPPort-II (9/11)
Posted by Wesley onIt may be okay to run without ramsinks at standard settings, but obviously, I need to do some overclocking and those bare chips won't stand the heat that it gets out once I crank up the MHz. It's time for some ramsink action!
The black heatsinks that you saw a while ago was now nicely cut into three pieces each. It's nice to live next to the campus that has the hacksaw in the workshop.
I prepared a pair of Zalman's colour-coded thermal adhesives for the attachment and cleaned up the surface of the memory chips with lint-free cloth.
The back side now has the ramsinks installed. The top one had to be slanted to cover the memory chip properly while avoiding the heatpipe cooler.
