Does anyone know how to do this?
I have sourced some high thermal coefficient graphite (2.5x the thermal coeff of copper) that isn't stupidly expensive (like the panasonic one) and i have found somewhere that sells 40mm wide flat heatpipes (my C2D is 37.5mm wide according to the spec sheet), so i feel like making my own cpu cooler. The problem that i have is that i know nothing about mounting this to the board. What do the subzero guys do; do you just rest a pot on the cpu and fill it up or do you make a clamp and get some mounting pressure? How do i go about making a clamp for this? I'm also wondering if it would be easier just to buy a cheap cpu cooler and Frankenstein the clamp from it.
