Thinking of modding my laptops CPU cooler

Cooling and overheating are some of my biggest bothers when it comes to laptops
so when I was looking up Arctic MX-5 reviews on Youtube, I accidentally happened upon
a video where the user modified his laptops CPU cooler by gluing copper wires.

So I looked up CPU cooler modding and found out about gluing additional
copper pipes, which was proven to work.

 

So now I'm looking for the best adhesive to glue the pipes together.
Should I actually look for a thermal glue or would thermal paste do the trick?
I ask that because I am looking up a list of the best thermal GLUE which
also includes thermal PASTE - so does it also double as adhesive?


10 Best Thermal Glue

 

Thanks.

I would 100% not modify your laptop, they are designed to operate at a certain temperature, if anything get one of those laptop stands that help circulate more air to the built in coolers.

Can you try to just repaste and clean the heatsink thoroughly?

Laptop stands with fans are bs since temps rarely even drop. All a laptop needs is non obstructed access to fresh air and it will cool as best as it can so a generic laptop stand without fans will do plenty.
