Do you have an ebay link for these heatsinks / radiators? I would be interested in these. My S5s fans have their ar$es on fire since summer started.

It's a picture of S5 shipped by Bitmain (Sic!). I was expected my S5 will arrive with such radiators too...  Angry

Take dimensions of copper plates where you'll glue the radiators and dig the Internet - e-bay, AliExpress, Dealextreme....

p.s. I'll take care of it some day soon, you may just wait a day or two.  Wink
And the key word above is 'GLUE'. Do not just use sticky thermal tape. From past experience using it on my retired s1's I can tell ya after a month or so the heatsinks start sliding towards the center of the earth... Fortunately I caught that before things started shorting out!

Always use a thermal epoxy so they stay put. Just a small dollop per sink is all that is needed. Also conducts heat better than thermal tape.
