Do NOT paint your heatsink... that only insulates heat and reduces the effectiveness of the aluminum or copper. If you desire a black heatsink, buy a black anodized product. If you are using liquid cooled cpu cooler, be sure to add a fan to the VRM heatsinks to ensure proper heat dissipation
This is incorrect you should Red the temps of the actual VRM using something like a hwinfo64 not the fins would you measure your cpu temp by putting your thermometer on the cooler fins or do you use a tool to measure the actual cpu temp Cooler fin temps are always very low
Mate. U cannot measure the VRM Temp underneath as there's a heatsink dissipating that 90degrees and ur measuring the heatsink, which is incorrect. Flawed test
@@mrsarcasm4874 i mean it depends on the type of paint used, it's really only a problem when you create too many layers of paint or use a thick type of paint like plastidip
Need to be very careful with this kind of solution. You measured 30 degree drop in temp but you don't know if that is because the heat transfer from the VRM to the heatsink is now poor. As in, more heat is now contained in the component and less heat is getting through to the heatsink compared to when the VRMs were in open air. The heatsink is painted and there may be the tiniest gaps between the components and the heatsink itself, even with the plaster. So the heatsink measures a lot cooler than the body temps of the VRMs Remember its not the temperature of the heatsink that matters, it is the temperature of the VRM component that matters. You need to somehow measure the temp of the actual components otherwise you may experience early failure and not understand why.
Normally you can't measure copper surfaces with a pyrometer at all, as their emittance factor in the frequency range that the pyrometer picks up is like 0.03, as opposed to 0.95 that the pyrometer is calibrated against, so you just see reflection of the environmental heat rather than emitted heat, and you need to take into account the pickup pattern of the IR optics, so it's difficult to avoid contaminating the measurement. The paint, while reducing thermal performance, might have actually helped with the measurement, but it's still inconclusive, since it's difficult to say how much of it is on there. Still, the mod is likely to have been beneficial. A good proxy measurement is just the PCB temperature in direct vicinity of the VRM, maybe at thermal stitching vias on the back side under the edge low-side MOSFETs, while controlling for performance i.e. consumed power that it is actually the same. It is easily measured with a K-type thermocouple or a bead thermistor.
I am currently experiencing vrm throttling (same mobo brand) HWinfo says its prochot ext (not the cpu, other components) since I chose to change my cooler to a high profile one like the one in this video. I think the downforce wind from the stock cooler also cools the vrm of this mobo. Based from what you're saying maybe if I tried this and HWinfo does not report prochot ext throttling then this video is effective.
never paint a heatsink! black heatsinks that you see that come that way are anodized! painting a heatsink will trap or insulate and the material (copper or alu) will hamper it's job by like alot. this video is wrong on so many levels.
Nice idea, good work... but, your paint job is cringe worthy... far too much thermal glue was used, like a drop per vrm would work and, but thermal tape would be better, and the heatsink is touching the caps, thats a no go. but other than that, good job.
Have you open up PSU before? The temperature silicone/thermal are all over inside the PSU. It's okay to use thermal silicone because it's non conductive. As for capacitor, i don't think it will be problem.
3:04 you should make as many radiators as elements you should chill . For each element 1 radiator because total surface of all elements isn't completely same , some higher some lower that's why they use thermal pads .
@@RAMMSTElN Well then thermal pads is not the solution, it's a vertical placed VRM with no presssure. The real solution is thermal glue or thermal tape. Pads are for things with pressure (like gpu VRM that have a plate on top of them)
Dont paint or cut your heat sink just buy the right ones and dont use paste use thermal tape from 3m. Other then that this is a good idea to lower temps for 10 dollars. Dont look for gains tho this will help with throttle durring the summer and still you wont notice any gains.
i get the idea but you could use a lot less paste, and maybe shave/sand down the edges of the heatsink a bit so they dont touch the capacitors at least... why did you paste the capacitors? Good idea, but the execution could be much better. Thanks all the same i do appreciate it.
When I measured temps on caps I saw them at around 90c so it was also required to cool them down. Since there is no conductivity involved I though why not use the same heatsink to also cool them down. By the way the system is running very nice and cool without any problem.
When I measured the caps tempreture they were equally hot. I m not sure what max temp they are rated for but thought giving them cooling will be ok. I m using for a long time now is working fine. No problem covering cap for me atleast. But yes it can be avoided if you think that's not right. Thank you
Can you get the actual temps from the motherboard ? Because now your reading the heatsink temp. It would be nice to know the actual VRM temp. I think MSI got some software for it, but i'm not sure, mine is gigabyte. Thanks for sharing.
@@InvertLogic Then it would be harder to do. For future reference you could (if your case allowes) measure the back side of the motherboard before and after placement of heatsinks. Have a great day!
i have never seen a half way decent mainboard that doesnt have pretty bulky VRM cooling :0 my MSI and ASrock boards always had thick aluminium heatsinks. and i know older boards which even had full copper heatsinks. edit: i checked a super cheap AMD APU mainboard (no name) which is from 2011. I got it gifted and never tested it yet. and indeed it has no vram cooling. I will defenitely fix that. Luckely i have tons of heatsinks here. i will glue them on with thermal double sided glue tape
Is your cpu overclocked? I want to improve my cpu on stock settings and install a cpu cooler like you, will I get such temperatures like you (90°c+ temperature)? I don't have a heatsink
I'm afraid those coolers won't hold well on such small areas, certainly not with just one-part silicone adhesive. That motherboard thermally dilates, so it's not even a good idea to glue it over multiple chips together. You need to cut the heatsink into smaller pieces (one piece = one chip) and glue it with two-component glue (regular glue will do).
thats a bad ideas because the cooling surface becoming smaller, less surface area = less cooling effects, in other channel he tried using small electronics heatsink and put it just like your advice and no effects at all. the same logic apply to CPU cooler, why CPU heatsink getting wider?
@@blogJM I've had heatsinks attached with an Akasa pad for like 8 years, never falling off; but they were pretty small heatsinks.

Great job but as probably said before you shouldnt Paint Heatsinks (reduces heat Dispersion) also thermal pads across the whole heatsink bottom then onto the VRMs would increase the transfer to the Heat Sink more effectively overall you could have maybe had a 40-45c drop.

Hi, We had the same idea, I have the MSI B450 PRO M2 MAX motherboard. I thought of a cooling system with hollow brass tubes that we would come to tighten with a part printed in 3d which would also allow to bring an air flow.
ohhh i have to do this, on my gigabyte b75 d3v there is 8mosfet and the processor is 95Watt design, while i draw 70watts from the cpu, i have 80-100C on my VRM, also my cpu runs up to 90C so its time to replace the thermal paste and apply heatsink on those mosfets :D My cpu was applied with Arctic MX4 two years ago, well the webpage telling us that, that thermal paste is good enough up to 8years, i dont think so. :D
You can messure the VRM temps by using HW monitor. ALso, care, you are not longer messuring the VRM temp itself, now youre taking heatsink temp! Awesome idea and job dude!
Not all mother board give options to moniter them VRM temp in HW monitor. So it's not possible specially the cheap ones. I agree that there will be some degrees of difference we will have in reading if measured at heatsink. But hey it's better than having no heatsink at all. Thank you
How much does this thermal plaster paste cost and is it safe to use on electric components is it non colonductive and can i use thermal adhesive pads instead

I don't have measurements. it was re-used from old Intel motherboard. just use any heat sink you have spare. cut it as per available space in your motherboard. I have shown that any heatsink can work.
So everyone who is watching this video nose please do not! Paint your heat sink. There's a proper way of dying it call the Anodizing. And for the love of God why did you put so much freaking heat plaster and you do realize by putting keep plaster on the chokes and capacitors that it only insulates them and retains the Heat
Yes Anodizing is proper way but hard to do yourself, and for such small heat sink will be very expensive to do from outside professionals. I put heat sink plaster on chokes because they were equally hot when I measured temperatures. so I have used the side of heat sink to cover the chokes. This system is running for more than a month for 8-10 hours daily with full cpu load. I am using it for rendering and everything is fine no problem with caps or chokes. temperatures are also very good. around 68-70c at full load.
No I want it to run proper with stock settings. Overclock will need bigger aio cooler which I don't have. But you can do oc like 100 - 200 mhz on this board if u manage ur temps
I stopped watching when u spray the fin. Now u blocking the metal to transmit heat to air with that layer of paint. Dont u ever thought of that before spraying??? theres is a good reason why manufacturer dont coat metal fin!
I don't think you actually did anything besides reduce the temperature of the heat sink, for my research the thermal pad you removed from the vrm and heat sink has around a 6.0 W/m K of heat dissipation compared to vrm cement which has only 1-2 W/m K of heat dissipation.
im using a H410 and a i9-10900 non K it pulls 270w sometimes Is there a way to add a heat sink to the VRM on the ASUS Prime H410M-E without damaging the VRM what adhesive to use? The paste you use could damage the VRM when you try to remove it
Yes or no. It depends if you paint surface that contacts MOSFET. Painting on side may not be that of a problem. It can hardly effect the cooling. As heat can still dissipate
Can someone explain why is that thermal plaster with 1.2W/mK thermal conductivity better than a thermal pad or paste of 13W/Mk and non-electrically conductive?
idk why all mobo manufactures dont include this :( Im sure it wouldnt cost them that much but idk.. Gigabyte H410M VRMs are causing a bottleneck & stutters & BD PROCHET here lol
No - you want to use a thermal adhesive, not thermal paste. Sometimes it is also called thermal glue or thermal epoxy. Normal thermal paste (like arctic silver or NTH1, etc) is not strong enough and the heat sinks will fall off

I don't have measurements. it was re-used from old Intel motherboard. just use any heat sink you have spare. cut it as per available space in your motherboard. I have shown that any heatsink can work.
So everyone who is watching this video nose please do not! Paint your heat sink. There's a proper way of dying it call the Anodizing. And for the love of God why did you put so much freaking heat plaster and you do realize by putting keep plaster on the chokes and capacitors that it only insulates them and retains the Heat
Yes Anodizing is proper way but hard to do yourself, and for such small heat sink will be very expensive to do from outside professionals.
I put heat sink plaster on chokes because they were equally hot when I measured temperatures. so I have used the side of heat sink to cover the chokes.
This system is running for more than a month for 8-10 hours daily with full cpu load. I am using it for rendering and everything is fine no problem with caps or chokes. temperatures are also very good. around 68-70c at full load.
I didn't think about the mobo acting as a heat spreader heating them equally
Isn't it looks like nice?
I got 2700x with b450 pro m2 max. Did you tried oc?
No I want it to run proper with stock settings. Overclock will need bigger aio cooler which I don't have. But you can do oc like 100 - 200 mhz on this board if u manage ur temps
@@aciemiller3443 Oh this one isn't a duplicate
Can I try it on my Gigabyte b450 h motherboard? It will work or not ? Can I overclock then my cpu?
Yes you can try. Use 6 core cpu on this mobo if u like to overclock. Take care don't overdue it.
so did you do it bro if so whats the results?
they became hot because fan airflow not reaching there.
nice video bro!
Can i use 3m tape ?
Yes if its thermal tape

aciemiller man wtf are you doing with your life
@@aciemiller3443 How many times are you going to comment this?
how to mesure temp on the vrm not the heatsink....so may be you will have a15°C drop
I'm concerned about you painting it I don't think 🤔 you should Do that
My msi b450 pro m2 max don't have heat sink can I do this same?
yes, that's what I did.
I have 110° on soc vrm with ryzen apu. No throttling btw
What are safe vrm temperatures?
95°c is normal
120≈130°C is a dangerous temperature
Can i try it with Asrock A320M HDV R4.0 and R7 3700X?
Yes. Only don't overclock.
I stopped watching when u spray the fin. Now u blocking the metal to transmit heat to air with that layer of paint. Dont u ever thought of that before spraying??? theres is a good reason why manufacturer dont coat metal fin!
3:06 how can i buy this heat sink?
I don't think you actually did anything besides reduce the temperature of the heat sink, for my research the thermal pad you removed from the vrm and heat sink has around a 6.0 W/m K of heat dissipation compared to vrm cement which has only 1-2 W/m K of heat dissipation.
im using a H410 and a i9-10900 non K it pulls 270w sometimes
Is there a way to add a heat sink to the VRM on the ASUS Prime H410M-E without damaging the VRM what adhesive to use?
The paste you use could damage the VRM when you try to remove it
have you manage to solve your problem? you can try thermal pads.
did your cpu throttling and cannot maintain turbo boost for 10 minutes?
h series mobo not suitable for i9. you need z series mobo
@@fastbutsafe5461 this is what people who don’t know about pc say
Pc should consist of what you need not blind industrial standard
@@ginjopowder I use it for just gaming and see no throttling so far
vo ter que fazer isso na minha b450 asus gaming Br
tem um cara vendendo no ML pronto e cortado pro tamanho dela
If you pain it you reduce the cooling performance
Yes or no. It depends if you paint surface that contacts MOSFET. Painting on side may not be that of a problem. It can hardly effect the cooling. As heat can still dissipate
@@InvertLogic I think that the paint is a barrier betwen the air and the aluminiun and reduces the cooling performance! But i can be wrong
great job 🤝
Nice video bro
Thanks

Good but music loop is annoying
Awesome music.
Can someone explain why is that thermal plaster with 1.2W/mK thermal conductivity better than a thermal pad or paste of 13W/Mk and non-electrically conductive?
The point is to glue the heatsink. Thermal paste isn't glue, so it won't stay.
Painting heatsinks is a stupid idea even if it looks good.
otherwise nice video.
Why? Without the painting you'd loss about 1~3Cº. A VRM under 70Cº is already ice cold.
@@Herbert2892 I agree with the technical point you made.
Awesome results!
Thank you!
@@aciemiller3443 Wtf who is talking about water cooling?
@@aciemiller3443 How many times are you going to comment this?
idk why all mobo manufactures dont include this :( Im sure it wouldnt cost them that much but idk.. Gigabyte H410M VRMs are causing a bottleneck & stutters & BD PROCHET here lol
mama kadak ek no
Can I use thermal paste to attach it to the VRM?
Yes that's what I have used 😊
@@InvertLogic Oh, thanks!
No - you want to use a thermal adhesive, not thermal paste. Sometimes it is also called thermal glue or thermal epoxy. Normal thermal paste (like arctic silver or NTH1, etc) is not strong enough and the heat sinks will fall off
And OP used a thermal glue, not traditional thermal paste.
@@InvertLogic moron
but msi has good vrm durability
cool
Thank you
painting the heat sinks ruins cooling performance
can someone link me a decent heatsink on amazon for the MSI b450 pro m.2 max. ? i also want to them to fit perfectly without any cuttting
