Hi All!
I was wondering if the copper quad heatpipe CPU heatsinks on ebay are worth the expense? Not in the matter if it would cool better, which theoretically they should, but more than the quality is up to snuff?
My experiences in custom PC cooling solutions, and previously reviewing several different desktop CPU coolers back in the AMD Socket 939 days, taught me about the importance of a uniform and flat contact surface, against the die of the CPU.
With these china sold all copper laptop "upgraded" coolers easy to find on ebay, I am weary to make the investment in one, in fear of poor quality control. Specifically, whether or not the custom quad heatpipe cooler would make positive contact across the CPU die, and if not, the stock cooler outperforming one that should technically be better.
I upgraded the stock i5-4210m CPU of 37W, to an i7-4900mq of 47W and have noticed the increase in heat output.
Does anyone have any experience with these?
