DIY Direct Chip Cooling

[MENGA]

I was initially planning on becoming a casual water cooling fan, but then I thought, why not let it consume my soul?

So i decap an old AMD Sempron that I had lying around and drill two holes for tubes, so I can ditch the waterblock and cool the silicon directly.

The mayor dissadvantage is that i can't use water.
I don't even remember if this processor works, so I use mostly to see if the system will leak when re-gluing the heat spreader and if the space under it is enought to pass a decent amount of liquid.
I might try it on a working processor later

This really won't work well, as there is no gap between the cpu and the head speader.

 

Also there a no fins and flat metal isn't the best at dissipating the heat.

I know, that's why i made a channel over the chip, so water (or cooling liquid) can flow.

Fins aren't as usefull here

best to go with generic chinese basement cpu block and build your own system.

Not much point. The liquid will have next to no area to actually pull heat away from the die. The only liquid that would work would be that 3M stuff that der8auer worked with.

I read this entire sentence in the wrong context. I was seriously about to ask you how you plan on turning yourself into a fan...

 

Anyway, this will barely work because there really isn't enough space for this to work unless you increased the surface area of the heat shield vertically by a significant amount. It would have to look something like an AIO pump does in order to benefit cooling the CPU.

You'll need better seals for the water cooling fittings. Also, you'll need a bigger gap over the top of the CPU in general, in terms of width and height.

I just see it leaking or shorting out the cpu that way.

When you said Direct Chip cooling I thought you were going to put a water-block in direct contact with the die (something that may be rare but not unheard of).

 

Then I saw the photos and all I can think of is that this is a disaster waiting to happen.
