    Indeed, I was thinking of going from the center of the heatsink to the outside and pausing in between, in order to allow byproduct gas buildup to dissipate.

    I thought I was using the default text color? I just made my account here and did not change any settings. Anyways sounds good, I'll be sure to post my findings including benchmarks by the end of the week

    This is exactly what I was planning Luckily I am aware, been in the business for a while I think I'll be fine going at it with a soldering iron moving around on top of the heatsink. It's easy to see when the solder melts. I can control the heat output of my iron to the degree between 90-310°C. I think it should work, most of the solder is rated at 180°C and below. I buy the lead-free shit for health reasons mostly, solder smoke is bad enough as it is.

    Read my answers, I have a Brasswell-something MiniPC sitting around that I use for notihng. It's literally a tiny one board Windows PC with a 2 inch heatsink on it. If and only if that works I might move on to something a little bigger in the future.

    Not delidding the thing is the point, I know it works there. The word mini-pc should tell you that the sink is not massive.

    Well, if working on open components we use a heatgun (as stated in the original post) which goes up to around 220°C and melts the solderpaste on the parts. Alternatively you can put a soldering iron at about 250°C to the base of the heatsink and wait, same result. Baking the unit will only help to kill other parts of the computer. Edit: also who goes for normal?

    Yeah thats the Idea, got like $99 mini Windows 10 PC sitting around and I use it for nothing really.

    Liquid metal can actually eat away on impure metals. I think I'll try regardless, not on something expensive, I have a Brasswell-something MiniPC sitting around somewhere. The thing has a passive heatsink. I was just wondering what you guys thought about the idea. It's more of a "will it even work" thought experiment.

    So here is a dumb/interesting idea: I got a ton of lead-free soldering paste lying around and I was wondering what would happen if I put that stuff between a CPU and heatsink, then put the heat-fan on there basically fusing the CPU and heatsink together. If I won't fry the CPU maybe this turns out to be a decent thermal improvement. What are your thoughts?
