Moto Hell - The Motorola Modding Community

Without looking inside the phone I just got an idea - we can possibly glue some thin piece of alluminium to our CPU, so we can spread the heat and make it cooler. What do you think?

It would be better if you can put some holes on the casing...

I attached a Pentium 3 CPU heatsink into the back of the phone(with the cover off) and its quite effective in cooling it down....

can you show some pics of it? Sounds interesting

I don't think you will still want to see the picture after reading this, I simply placed my E2 onto the heatsink while playing games...

However if you still really want a picture, I'll post one... ;D

Is our baby e2 that hot? ;D

if you're using the 624Mhz APMD (AKA 'popcorn' APMD... lol) E2 tends to get hot a lot...

@sjj: we want picts!

I thought it was some permanent mod :)

Just putting it on a heatsink do nothing. It must have good connection with a thermal paste - else it's nothing. My idea is about a thin piece of aluminium, which will spread the heat on higher area - that makes the cooling much better. It's the same idea as the RAM copper heatsinks - it just takes the heat from the small area chips and spreads it onto big area heatsink. It's still the same heat, but the chips itself are cooler

I have taken some pictures, click on the link so see them...
CLICK! (http://gfm.mandost.uni.cc/gfm/index.php?option=com_easygallery&act=categories&cid=34&Itemid=37)

I think you shuold just put a miniture heatsink on e2, not a Pendium 3 heatsink!?! ;D
Ps: I think I might start playing games with a Core Duo heatsink... :D

I think P3 and C2D uses almost the same type of heatsink, its just a standard CPU heatsink....

I noticed once when I was surfing the internet,e2 was much hotter than usual

sjj - thanks for the pic.

Since there is no direct connection with the CPU - this is not doing much results... Plus we can't hold such large radiator on our pockets :) LOL

Anyone tried to use a SD shaped "copper heatsink" like the laptop's cpu's heatsink?
bend the copper a bit... I think it would work... ;D

I dismanteled my phone, but I can't find which is the CPU :) Can someone show me a pic? I know it's somewhere at the bottom

The CPU should be a small square chip near the SD slot if I remembered it correctly...

i might try a heatpipe on that cpu on 624 mhz... ;D

hehe I must be a blind man :) I found it, but after the screenshot from Nightstalker (from old MoMo). I thought that this is the flash memory chip...

Now I am going to heatsink that bastard :) I see that there is plenty of room for that

P.S. Now my problem is how to cut an alluminium plate, which must cover the whole processor, then thinner pipe around the anthenna and another large plate at the free bottom :)

If you can't cut aluminum plate, try using aluminum foil, its much easier to cut ;D ;D

definetly not the same :)

don't coverup the antenna part, or you will get high VSWR and poor reception.  :D

Two flat rectangles connected to each other is no real use. There is no heat spreading at all - not even warming... I will need some kind of grill

See the grill on top of the phone(beside 3.5mm), maybe you can make something like that at the bottom of the phone...
