This is a few shots of a heat sink I modified and constructed from a standard AM2 heat sink block.
I could not find any standard blocks for an AM2 64 Duel 6000+ for sale on their own so I decided to experiment to make my own, after having Purchased a scythe ninja revision B and it wouldn't fit in my full tower ATX case.
This first shot is of all the component parts before assembly.
The part that makes contact with the CPU was fashioned by hand using 3mm Thick Copper plate, as was the top plate to mount top cooler on.all cooling fins are made from 1mm copper plate.
The next shot shows part way through assembly. The 5 copper tubes you can see go right the way through the block and are soldered to a copper CPU plate which atatches to the base of the block with countersunk grub screws as you will see in the photo a bit further down
This next shot shows the complete assembled unit. You can see the copper base plate as mentioned in the last photo which the copper pipes are atatched to.
This is another shot taken from a different angle. Here you can see the grub screws that hold it to the standard heat sink block.
Here is a shot of the finished and sprayed product
We decided to test this on an AM2 64 Duel 3800+ chip in an Asrock Alive Sata2 Glan board.
Overall we did not see any dramatic cooling using this home made device but, one really good thing it did was hold it's temperature a lot more constantly than the standard 3800's heat sink and fan.
We enabled the CPU boost in the bios and it droped 1 degree and held its temp even when under full benchmark using Everest. I will be testing on my AMD 6000 x2 cpu and will let you know the results when ive tested it.
