I added an extra heatsink to this poor laptop

Poor? It is nearly dead now. Also add another stick of ram.

it has a 16gig stick I can’t really afford one more lol

That’s ok, but why did you cut the vent on the palmrest?

@Riley
the hole was designed for 2 square fans that stick out, but I didn’t have anywhere to put them without clogging the intake. so they faced upwards and when closing the lid they slid inside the case.

I’m guessing cutting a round hole was not an option?

Lenox be inflating the hole-saw market.

And I bet there’s absolutely NO thermal paste on that heatsink either haha.

great idea. mutilate the chassis instead of repasting (which would’ve made it like new)

You have a future in brain surgery, sir. Or retail. We’ll see.

I did something similar using the empty space from the DVD reader, however in my case the fan intake was from the bottom of the laptop, I wonder why you decided to have it in the palmrest.

but then I found a laptop fan and I didn’t bother drilling more holes

so that’s why it looks like a car hood vent.

And I thought drilling holes to use the NVME connector to connect an external GPU was overkill…

You did all that, but are still starving that CPU of dual channel memory. Poor thing.

Please put a mesh over it.

Start a counter with how many times you burn yourself on the copper.

Pls add a dust filter.

This is gangster AF. Nice work.

That’s engineering 101 for you all. Great job sir. Keep it up!

Bro as a person who really loves modded electronics, I love this and it’s cool when you can pull these kinds of things off.
