waisted HS

Ok i recently got a new HS, and my old one is not being used so I started to think. It is excaly the same size all over its flat and the poles that stick up to disburse the heat are all the same. So i was thinking if I cut a square out of this I would have a perfect HS for my NB chip. Right now its not of imprtoance becouse my HS is blowing extra air on NB chip suprisingly keeping it very cool, I was just wondering if this would work and what I could cut this with. I will post specss and pics of my HS i wish to chop up tomorrow. Right now I have no Cell phone to take the pictures with.

Yes I think it will work, no clue what to cut it with, could use a hacksaw but that would be a bit brutal. Not sure how you could hold it down on the NB though.

Tin snips?
If it's too thick, you're gonna have to go for power tools.

I to was thinking a hack saw. Just wonder how clean of a cut I cna get with that. For holding it down would like a thermal adheasive work?

Dremel and a vice. will do the job very nicely.

Even though the NB chip is cool. Would it hurt to put this HS on it like block the air? I would think it will help pick up the heat then the air can cool off the HS am I wrong?

You are not wrong. I think that it would be an excellent idea, So long as it is fastened properly and you use thermally conductive adhesive to secure it with.

Ok cool. Even though this should not take long I will probaly start this weekend. I will post back when I have an update.
