Improving the Scythe Infinity CPU Heatsink for extreme cooling In this guide you can follow the steps required to unleash the full cooling power of the large tower CPU heatsink from Scythe. The Infinity is fitted with custom motherboard mounting, 2x120mm fans and cool black shroud. Read on to find out how much performance one can extract from this CPU cooler by doing some ghetto style modifications. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=567 |
What is the difference the thermal paste mess made? |
on the Infinity, minimal at best with slightly better contact between base and heatpipes, on the Tuniq more substantial as the heat pipes are soldered only to the top of the base not the top plate; |
I assume using solder (silver solder) to fill the gaps will be easier and better heat transfer; good thinking on his part ;) |
I think it would be possible to insert the base in a mold and fill it with liquid tin so you end up with the heatpipes being inside a complete tin block |
that's the next step, good suggestion, solder would be more conductive than thermal goop? |
