DIY Your CPU Heatsink to Lower CPU Temp

Lower CPU temperature helps stability and overclocking. How to improve your CPU heatsink starts from better heatsink CPU contact area.

DIFFICULTLY:


Why We want to Improve the Efficiency of CPU Heatsink


We know a good CPU heatsink is very important for CPU cooling. Not only it keeps low temp of CPU for stability, but also increase overclocking ability.

There are lots of good heatsinks available in market. But still, nothing is the best, we can always improve the efficiency by flatten heatsinks' CPU contact area. When it has better flatten contact area, heat transfer from CPU to heatsink improved. However, most manufactories doesn't do a good job on lapping because it is not cost effective to them.

From this picture, we can see the bottom of heatsink is totally not flat. a lot of thermal paste pushed to the left.





The is the picture of heatsink bottom corresponds to upper CPU picture.
