oopps....haha....never take such detailed look at the pics...lol...

any idea wat is the recommended temps for the heatpipes?? i mean idle working range?

It doesnt matter coz ure CPU is not supposed to reach even 80C even for a Preshott P4. So nonid to worry bout exploding pipes.

I think its below 100C

lucky u din get killed bro..how am i gona get fans from u

Which cpu u know can reach 100C? heatpipes are usually filled wif water cuz the heat(from cpu) will evaporate the water and condenses at the cooling fins.

But this cooling scientist went to heat it until soldering temp. which is abt 190C...water turns into gas...like a pressure cooker without its pressure valve.

hoho~
time to heat up my mom's stove.

m... next time don't do that again! if u have nothing to do. watch tv or sleep will be better.

hmm.. somehow it left me thinking.. what would happen is someone turn on stove, then leave the whole darn heatsink burn there by itself ??

it's gotta be some pretty sight.

You are a nutter.
Better make sure that you're still in one piece when I come back to Penang next time.... but yeah, the aftermath is just

my didi is still in good shape, thanks for your concern

i think the temperature is more than 300°C, and it's impossible to get that temperature with the whole heatsink at that temperature on CPU alone

if u got heatsink which has got lousy soldering, this is the way to make it right.
find a base (copper/Alu) to heat up and then mount the HSF on the base.

heat up until it's able to melt solder, and then dont heat it up anymore, if you heat beyond that u get a big bang like i did

If the fins or pipes or the base is not manufactured properly then just reject the thing. Everything is machine manufactured and we can't really replicate how it is made.

Anyway it is kind of crazy and stupid to try and fix this. Its just not worth you life just to save a few bucks.

If u r really unlucky, the debris could end up in your skull. Being blind is less of your concern then. Much more for your parents.

it should turn out fine if i had shut the stove way before it exploded.
i've put too much heat on the heatsink

Hmmm..... Since like do some experiment, not take cover yrself for safety?? donno how to happen "Kaboom" after that got mess around .......

Hebat Hebat!!

oke.. this time the police will not fine me for selling this firework alternative this upcoming CNY. huhu lucky you're still in one piece. anyway, no need to post 1st ma. claim warrenty dulu.. huhu...

from the pics. you're shirt looks wet.. your didi was shocked till cry eh.

allngap. from your prediction, if the heatpipe was still oke.. what changes in temperature do you see from the full potential of the heatsink?

what can't kill you will make ur com stronger

terlalu hebat

maybe 1°C or 2°C ??? dont care anymore coz it's good enough

the secret in getting low temperature in this type of tower heatsink is to blow the fins and the base as well.
putting a fan at it's base could lower at least 2°C of the lowest u can get by mounting a fan on the fins.

itchy hands are dangerous man

Very true....itchy hands will do all those things by common sense will not do....i oso got my pair of itchy hands....itchy until open HDD casing to see it work..then remove the disk and see....end up screwing up the drive...but lucky i have not lost all myself...i picked the 10gb disk from my old P2...not my 120gb

hahahahahaaaa

thanks god u safe.... huhuhu..
