Where u learn to stove the solder to melting point? so canggih your imagination. Go chop a chicken and pray to god.

yaya...me oso dun understand why he would use the stove method...
but anyway...we learn new things...lolx

i did that to my SI-97, managed to drop around 1-2°C, Thermalright deserves some recognition because their QC and their soldering standards are quite high


i know


EXTREME MODDING AKA itchy hands


you've watched too much of final destination

i wish they can send me a new vanessa

it dint penetrate into my tummy, just a cut like a pen knife cut

you be my lawyer

i know some people in the metal industry, and i understand how it works.
just that this time, i forgot to turn off the stove.

i wonder, if u sent it back to the manufacturer saying "it suddenly blew up in my comp!" would they believe it?

Soldering + using stove heating.Wao,damn a brave act.Pray for being safe from the "kaboom".But finally u also acheive the heatpipe at low temperature.

I cannot imagine if while he was soldering, the heatpipe blew up in his face. Man that would be even worse! Btw what were you using to solder it, AllnGap?

luckily it blew up after i've finished soldering, coz i did some soldering on the base and on the top of the heatpipe.

i used tin, obviously from soldering tin.

Never ever heard of this thing before.

Before this, I have been wondering so long that what will happen if a heatsink is exposed to extreme heat? Can it still dissipate the heat properly?

Lastly, I found my answer in your experiment.... heatpipe blew up.

You really deserve the title of Extreme Modder!!!

I think if you didn't leave it on a burning stove it might not have exploded. Solder it quick and take it out to cool........might be a better way. But seriously, being an extreme modder is great and all - but becareful man. Take precautions. You got away with a cut this and pretty starry pants this time, the next time your might not be so lucky - it might explode in your hand or have sharpnel lodged in your eye. Nasty.....

omg.. thank god u r OK..

dude,

be carefull...

luckily ur okay.... nothing really bad happened to u,

imagine all the possibilites that could have happened..

KEEP ON MODDING !!

you're right, i did that on my SI-97, and it lowered temperature.
maybe i was careless this time

I guess permanently bonding the non-joining sections with solder really does work. And it should actually. I am glad you did the experiment and not me man. LOL

actually, the fins and heatpipes are bonded using tin
except for the tip of the heatpipe.

re you gonna sell it to me for cheap now?

as the ols saying goes...kalau tak rosak jangan baiki...haha, finally a proof to support that statement.

betcha never tweaked ur rig

Dude.. thank GOD u r still ok. was wondering why on earth u put it on stove. After this u need to wear the protective glasses and some glove already lah.. Too extreme.

woww ... u super dangerous man la
really lucky u wearing the spec

actually i do o/c and do some modding but they are somethings that people aren't supposed to mess with...human must learn how to see the limitation when doing something. i did my mistake before where i killed my AI7 and sent it for rma, lucky forr me i got a new one and now i still mod but within a safe region.
