Supper Cooling Radion GPU in HP Pavilion tx2350ea Laptop - How to ?
Hi all,
I have this Laptop which has given up the ghost immediately two days after its warranty expiring. To cut the long story short, I have ordered another mobo. The original heat sink method for GPU on this mobo is thermal pad which I think is very inefficient, causing lots of laptop failure and HP has, I believe withdrawn this laptop from the market. There is a gap of about 1mm between the GPU and heat sink, and the surface of the heat sink is not flat for the obvious reason that it is meant for thermal pad. What alternative I have for cooling the GPU more efficiently ? Is it possible to fill the gap with some thermal compound which would not run or bleed. Or reduce the gap with a copper shim and use thermal paste on either side. Resurfacing the original heat sink surface is not an option. Appreciate your thoughts on it. |

One of the best CPU coolers I used had a copper block screwed to the bottom with HS compound in between it and the aluminum cooler. The tighter the fit the better. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org My Tivo Experience http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/tivo.htm Tivo HD/S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
