Tuniq vs Infinity Round two!!!

[Pete]

I popped the top off and smothered thermal paste everywhere. This picture shows where its probably having the greatest effect. I added some more later.

Humm that got be a pain as thats going to be easy to get everywhere! I'd be tempted to braze it up, have more themeral contact then as it be a metal as to the paste

I wish I could do that but it would be difficult becuase once its on there, its done. Also, heatpipes cannot handle such high temps and there is a chace they would blow up (from what others have told me at least).

You don't want to blow up these heatpipes by high temperature.

As I said in an earlier post, this is the best thing to try if you really want go extreme:

I think the Coollab liquid metal can fill the gap nicely. You may still need some ceramic to seal the liquid metal.

this mod reduced the temps in 2*C!
that silver stuff is an alloy which melts in 95*C. It was not difficult to use it.

Where do I get it?

When I redo my Infinity pressure mount, I want to do that as well ...

nice work bro

I've been an Infinity fan (no pun intended) since I purchased mine. I was new to the heatpipe coolers and the infinity had the most consistent results in most of the reviews I read. Here are my results with my infinity with a pressure mod and the stock infinity fan with two additional 80cfm fans.

Idle with ~25*c ambient.

sorry to re-open a old thread, but I would love to know if theres much of a temp diff when modifying the tuniq mounting system?

if so how did you do it

The only reason you might want to mod it is if the screw breaks (which it did for me) and you need to replace them with your own screws. Other than that, just tighten it a lot, make sure the cpu IHS and the Heatsink base are both lapped, and use a quality thermal paste. You should get best performance out of the mount after all that. Good luck.

enz660, was the bottom fan blowing air on the heatsink or away? Does using this help a lot? Also, did you keep the fan in the middle of the tuniq, and if so, which way is it blowing, towards the back I'm guessing?

I dont get what you mean by "bottom fan" but yes, i did keep the fan in the middle of the tuniq, all fans were blowing to the back of the case yes. Like the ifx, the tuniq has tight fin spacing, and the loud, high rpm tuniq fan helps take advantage of the fin concentration.

the fan thats on the bottom of the tuniq, it either blows up or down :P
