Hey man, i am really impressed with your work. You need to share more your videos! You deserve a lot more regognition :D

@fanlessguy1395 6 лет назад

Thanks for support :)

@sirtanon1 4 года назад

This is an incredibly clean and uncomplicated conversion, and I'd say probably the cleanest I've seen on RU-vid. Beautiful results!

@Sunbeam_Cheese 3 года назад

06:03 It seems difficult to connect the ports. 06:14 And this looks more difficult because of the wood stand right below those ports. Your design is absolutely pretty, but can I see the actual cable connection?

@anonimofied 2 года назад

it looks good but i dont think its actually working

@glennbaxter7254 5 лет назад

Great video - but how did you get away with not having a CPU fan as laptops usually require one to be present in the BIOS.

@Justbase 4 года назад

i believe you basically need to fool the bios into thinking there is one. short it some how

@coffeeloh1802 4 года назад

And there is no port in the video

@paprotka3426 4 года назад

My pretty strong laptop with an it 6300HQ and an Nvidia 950M didn't need to have the fan connected

Looks nice. I would like to see it working... 😇

@aaronderossett3998 4 года назад

Has there been any galvanic corrosion around the heatsink where the copper and aluminum meet? Was a large copper heatsink not financially feasible or available, or could you have made the cpu heatsink out of aluminum too? I love the look of this build, I just hate that copper and aluminum seem to be mortal enemies bound to fight it out and the cpu and temps being collateral damage.

@donbaba8255 6 лет назад

Absolute nice, really good work... but how do use the USB, HDMI, and the other connectors? The gap on the bottom is to short for a normal USB dongle or a HDMI cable.

@fanlessguy1395 6 лет назад

The gap at the bottom is 65mm total, it's enough for my cables.

If with a 35W processor works fine, I can see it making wonders on a Ryzen 5 2500U since it is a 15W processor.

This is great. Unless I missed some thing the motherboard is only held into the chipboard with two screws which go through the heatsink? Is that correct?

@StefanBlurr 6 лет назад

I noticed you use copper plate between the cpu's and the aluminium radiator. Isn't that bad? Or are those radiators coated with something that can be used with copper?

@fanlessguy1395 6 лет назад

aluminum is anodised

@akositiklis 3 года назад

I'm sorry, I can't mute your background music.

@Raptors19tdot 5 лет назад

Ok Question people. Is Copper thermal paste then Aluminum enough of a conductor for heat??? What if your using it a bit heavy than normal functions? Cause in my mind there's only Wind or liquid for Heat. Or because the size and shape of your Aluminum can take out heat kinda like a portable heater machine concept?? Anywayz, gd work!

@erkanfiz4182 3 года назад

Really nice work 👍🏻

@zeldamaniac3188 6 лет назад

Broken laptops are the best value for budget home servers and HTPCs. I get ones that have a fan control app so that they become passive at idle... e.g. tpfancontrol for thinkpads

@reyzafany1992 5 лет назад

Awesome DIY Project! I've always thought of buying a normal CPU HSF before, but your method is very eye opening to me. My only concern is to be honest I'm very unskilled in the way of electronic boards, therefore I don't know how to find out which place of the board is fine to make hole with. Could you please tell me how did you install the backplate on this video or maybe just link me to some tutorial about this so I could learn more about it? Once again I thank you for your spectacular project which awe and inspire me!

@fanlessguy1395 5 лет назад

I'm glad I inspired you. Definitely don't make any holes in the motherboard. It's hard to write a universal solution because every laptop is different.

@reyzafany1992 5 лет назад

@@fanlessguy1395 I see I thought you were making holes on it haha. So you just makes Holes according to the motherboard backplate?

@yashirou618 4 года назад

looks good, but why havent you placed standoffs/washers, and why isnt the cpu fan installed? just a huge passive heatsink.. I dont think the screen would turn on if thats the case

@starless9 Год назад

The design is clean, classy and so well executed. I’m curious where the various metal parts and fittings were repurposed from. Since it seems metal working tools and skills could be hard to acquire…

@raycert07 5 лет назад

My laptop NEEDS A FAN. Its got Radeon cpu and gpu so it will cook an egg at idle, it will burn paper with 2 chrome tabs open, and with no fan it wont last a minute

What is the thickness of the copper heat spreader?

@fanlessguy1395 5 лет назад

the thickness of the heatspreader depends on the thickness of the motherboard, in my case 5mm

@tobeypeters 5 лет назад

Hey, if I get my taxes ... How much would you want to make a MicroATX case, which can hold a couple SSDs & regular sized hard drives? It'd lay flat and any non metal would need to be black painted or like carbon fiber.

@fanlessguy1395 5 лет назад

That's hard to say, I'm not selling anything yet, but designing and creating just one unique case is very expensive...

@nitinmittal13 6 лет назад

Hi there, I find your project very interesting and I also wanted to similar thing. I want to know what sort of screws you're using to hold copper heat spread. I see in the video the screws are getting sunk and still holding on the copper heat spread. Also what is the thickness of the heat spread?

@fanlessguy1395 6 лет назад

I do not understand exactly the question about the screws, but the thickness of the heatspreader is 5mm in my case - it depends on the need of the motherboard

@MitgliedT5 6 лет назад

did you test the spreading of the thermal paste, looks like it could be not enough between the copper cold plate and the aluminium Heatsink

@fanlessguy1395 6 лет назад

between the CPU and the heatspreader is only one point of the paste and the area is about 1 cm2, then there is a 5 mm heatspreader (about 60 cm2) and between the heatsink I gave 28 paste points, I believe the heat transfer will be enough and more pastes would not have a positive effect for heat transfer.

@deadscorpion1200 6 лет назад

I think it's inconvenient to connect wires (usb, hdmi and others), because if the wires are thick, this computer may fall.

@wesjordan1908 5 лет назад

I wouldn't even have wires attached just the power. Use it to stream to all the other devices in my house. I did something similar (though not as nice looking) with an itx mobo and a couple ssd's it's under clocked ryzen 5 1600 and it generates almost no heat.
