Easy Alder Lake Cooling Mod.

[Aleslammer]

Was checking max temps for Alder Lake and found this. Might be a goto for the ambient folks.

Never thought washers for the CPU socket, used washers on the push pins for the cooling on my first X48 boards helped a lot for north bridge temps, (REX, RF & P5E), then again better TIM materials probably helped substantially

CPU gets bent in the socket aparrently. Der8auer has come up with an elaborate solution.

Would also like to add that Thermalright also has a similar accessory:

Currency mentioned is ¥ so perhaps it's not available in western markets yet. I'm unsure as to how much Der8auer's answer costs, if he mentioned it in the video I must have missed it.

Lol at the comments... this one is accurate

LOL! Spending so much on an 'elite' CPU, only to find out it needs ghetto mods to stay in place... Bravo, intel, bravo!
