Alienware M17X R4 Heatsink Mod

[jackgarcia7]

I wondering if anyone has done this yet? Would there be noticeable heat distribution across both GPU and CPU? I am attempting to recreate the attempt for water cooling by azatek on my R4.

I dunno, something doesn't seem right about this mod. I would assume that it would draw more heat over the CPU or GPU with this setup. I could understand it if it was for liquid cooling not fan.

I agree, but this will eventually be a water cooled application. I just have to work on the details for now.

Someone has already made a watercooled m18x. They explain that the standard heat pipes can't handle the heat/liquid.

Yes, that is the video I am basing my mod on. This would be on 17 and I wondering if there would a good heat distribution if I connect them this way. Or will it run the same after the water cooling mod is added.
