Sketchiest DIY Heatsink EVER

[BachChain]

At least he made sure that the test bench was within three feet of where he was working. Can't beg for more motherboards if you don't fry the first one

This was only slightly educational, so to speak. But from an entertainment point of view, it was the best in a while.

Handmade CPU cooler... 

At least you can sell it on etsy for a good price?

I just don't focus on them anymore, just watch the content.

Yea me too, I'm going to watch it as a fan either way, but I don't know how the obnoxious thumbnails get more views.  The click-bait titles have been proven to get more people interested in the video, and some where ironically funny. AT least the video description is fine.

I really would have liked to see maze structured aluminum 3D printed heatsing thing, but oh well, hacksaw it is I guess

i wasn't really shocked by the performance of this thing, what really amazed me was that Linus didn't get bored of sawing that block.

Why not do a video like 'Best CPU Air Cooler 2017' instead? This just seems like a waste of time.

The thumbnails have been getting worse, and now the titles are starting to go also. I just really hope that you guys don't go out of your way to create the new thumbnails.

 

I keep watching because I'm usually very interested in the content of the video. And the old thumbnails/titles used to give me  rough idea of what the video was about, but now, with this video, I don't get such a good idea. For example, initially, I couldn't tell what this this video would be exactly about. Based off title, I assumed maybe it was a bargain bin heat sink or something like that, one that was so cheap you couldn't tell if it was real aluminium or something like that. Then I saw the thumbnail and thought "Oh no, why does Linus have a hacksaw? Must be a DIY video.". 

 

TL;DR: Would it have been so problematic to title the video something relevant like "DIY Heat Sink" or something like that?

Buy CPU cooler on Amazon: http://geni.us/j6k84gX

 

Can you make your own heatsink? Hell yeah! Should you? Let's find out...

 

 

What is the link to buy the block of Aluminium as I want to try to make my own heatsink?

 

It would be even more helpful if the link is for the same sized block.

 

Thanks

Hey guys, this is my version of the same project... Turned out a little better than LTT's one !!!

I used a Radial Arm Saw and a vise to obtain this result in about 30 minutes... A table saw would do the same job.

The Saw's table I used has been modified for metal work (T-slotted framing) but the same can be obtained with a regular sawing table and a good "Triple-chip Grind" carbide tips blade.

 

If the shape seems odd for a CPU, that is because it is not used for a cpu... It is going to cool a prototype electronic power supply at my job...(R&D)

 

Have a nice one.
