.... I wish a company made a copper option with heatpipes, could make a huge difference for overclocking.

Should not be that hard to fabricate on your own .... just need to find out what thickness of the copper slab to get, slice some slots / channels in it and then split a few copper tubes to for the fins that are slid into the slots. All you are left to do is drilling tapped holes for attaching the PCB. I wonder how cost efficient it would be though for just a handful of units ..... ?

Doesn't sound that easy to me. Unless you have a machine shop and all the tools necessary as well as the skills to do properly. Grin

Ofcourse, you need tools (that's a no-brainer) ... a dremel would be a good start .... but definitely not a task to be undertaken by feeble minded at DIY. But like I said, not that hard (does not mean it is easy!)

My good friend owns a machine shop, he has a few bridgeports and 5-axis Mazak cnc's. soooo thats a start, ill buy an s3 and pull the heatsink off of it, see what they can come up with.

i wouldnt spend alot of money on it. the s3s are getting to the end of life, unless someone finds a way to undervolt them.

I am just going to test it out on a s3, dont want to have my s5 laying around not working while I work on this. Not looking to make any money off of it, just something fun to try out, it would be cool to have a badass air cooled heat exchanger to see how high i could clock them (without being submerged in oil)
