  1. I took the heat pipes off, and decided i am going to try and mount the new cooler directly on the CPU, somehow...
  2. The fan on my old laptop broke. Since it have some relatively beefy hardware, i7-2630QM @ 2 GHz and a geforce 540m, i decided it should not go to waste. I am therefor turning it into a desktop pc for my parrents to use, but would like your advise with some of the issues In the top right we see the heatsink i intend to mount, in the bottom right we see the broken fan How to mount the heatsink? I could mount the heatsink to the two heatpipes fairly easily using strips, but im worried the heat transfer wouldn't be that great. Alternatively i could remove the heatpipes and mount it directly on the CPU, but mounting it becomes a lot harder, i could probably mount it with strips through some of the screw holes in the motherboard. In this case the GPU would then be passivly cooled by a small heatsink lifted from an old motherboard. This should be sufficient for the GPU, since it not going to do any graphic intensive tasks and is allready lying at a stable 60 degress celsius without any cooling Any tips would be much appreciated
  3. This could be a nice excuse for an entire system update
