How good is a heatsink that costs only $5?

cute little heatsink for a overclocked raspberry pi 

[WereCat]

Better than the one you made

[Dietrichw]

I wonder how it would perform with actual thermal paste and not grey water. 

I also think with that plastic ring you could put a AMD clip mount cooler on an Intel socket. 7700K with a wraith max?

[DildorTheDecent]

Copper slug Intel cooler would have destroyed the test. 

 

Also:

>Box says Intel CPU support

>Cooler has AMD mounting hardware

 

China everybody.

Would that enven fit on a Pi?

You can use the AMD mounting hardware to mount an AMD heatsink to an Intel board due to the screw holes around the sides.

raspberry pi 3b cant even oc 

i have the b+ and the 3b and only the b+ can

[Zagna]

Heh, I'm using an LC Power Cosmo Cool that I got for a grand total of 13€ on my Ryzen

it can with the right tools it can, i also have the pi 2, use it for for emulation.

the one in the photo is a b

 

btw the only way i know is from raspi-config. whats the other one?

nope that's the first pi

all pi can OC using sudo raspi config or editing it through a PC

i have that thing , the adapter braket it uses is super useful to mount AMD latch based tower coolers to LGA 775 and 115X ,

and the cooler itself is not terrible for a pentium or so 

[minibois]

That cooler was rated for 65W TDP, so another recent LTT video that could have use the Ryzen 1500X

(I'm kidding, I know it has supposed Intel mounting material).

the fist pi was b then b+, 2b, 3b (thats for the b series)

also i own the 3b and i can find the option but it says it unavailable when i press it but i read you can oc it from pc like you sayed

nope , it uses generic amd latch mounts and a adapter plate for 775/115x , i had one of those on my Athlon II X2 215 for a while 

[Guest Darth Revan]

That looks like the Zalman CNPS80F:

http://www.zalman.co.kr/contents/products/view.html?no=130

I had one of these on an intel system, and it was a bit better than the stock cooler but not by much. The main advance over the stock cooler, was that it was silent. You can barely hear it.

Supposed, as in they didn't know it would have also fit on AMD hardware before opening the box (would it even fit on AM4 though?).

shud fit am4 , my Zalman CNPS 9000 did , and that thing was made for athlon 64´s

Next one for this series has to be a gpu, especially given Linus' dislike for low end cards and their price to performance

[19_blackie_73]

that's the thing I don't understand in recent LTT videos:

It is ok to test it with a higher watt cpu for the lol factor, but if it is only designed to cool a 65 W TDP cpu, WHY DON'T THEY TEST IT with a 65W TDP chip to confirm at least if it holds up to what it promises to do?

A really informative video would do the test with the 65W TDP chip, comparing intel stock (that actually comes with the 65W chips intel makes and not slapping one generic version of some other whatever TDP chip on the 7700k) and the 5$ chip. And to have a real comparison, you should run the tests with the stock thermal paste that comes with the coolers and one aftermarket on both so you can see if the heatsink is more limited by the thermal paste that comes with it or the heatsink itself has a bad design. And after that, you could slap it on the 7700k and see what happens.

This video is like having a opel corsa with 69 PS, going to a drag event with tuned american muscle cars and then be suprised that you have the slowest car.

I started watching LTT videos back in 2015 when choosing parts for my first pc. Back then the videos were informative and entertaining at the same time, but since they moved to the new studio, they went more and more crazy and less and less informative. Why can't you @LinusTech start again combining both and not going holy shit and over the top on everything? If the trend continues, I'm probably stop watching the videos, as this shifted form of entertaining is not my taste anymore, and I'm probably not the only one. Clickbaity titles is one thing, but keeping a level of information provided in videos should be possible. Because anybody who will buy that heatsink, probably won't slap it on a 7700k, but probably on a pentium/i3 and will now know not more than before watching that video.

Of course only you could throw that insert down. 

[HimymCZe]

I bought similar cooler @2008 for my Yorkfield build. It is still working up-to-date.

That water cooled Pi is dope.
