Toopy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) While the 170EM is getting a little long in the tooth these days (even with a 980m or 10xx) but it can still give acceptable framerates in most new games. I was wondering if has anyone tried one of these aftermarket heatsinks? AU $419.04 20％ Off | DIY water Air/wind cooling heasink radiator Transformation for Clevo P150 P150EM P170 P170EMhttps://a.aliexpress.com/_mO8YlzR price is a little higher than I would like and would probably be better off investing the $$ into a new machine. They also seem to have heatsinks for a large number of different machines. Edited June 23, 2021 by Toopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktape Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think this is an interesting mod.. however, I don't see how the water can cool the laptop more efficiently than the heat pipes. The only benefit that water would bring, would be to have an external reservoir for more thermal mass to sink the heat to, and the ability to increase the size of the radiators. In that it appears that these are all internal, then I would expect they are a down grade, in that the radiation surfaces remain the same, but the thermal transfer is slower through water than a state changing vapor.
