Doh. Great way to profit from those leftover processor heatsinks from 10-year-old computers.

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
how stupid do you have to be to buy one of them?
least they could have done was sell um with zipties that fit between the sink grooves

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
I have to say, the guy selling them is not the moron here. Looks like he has sold 19 of them. The real question here is who is buying these???

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
What PC in the last 20+ years has had a CPU heatsink like that? If I had to guess I would say they're chipset ones.

RC car action listed some lipos plumbed for water cooling. http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-6500WC-74-Spartan-Pair.htm

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
thoes gold heatsinks would actually work and look better if you bolted them on to the flat spot of a gold motor mount.

The worst is this:

History: 19 sold

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
I've seen those on some AMD CPUs back in the day, as well as on 486's and the original Pentiums. My first computer was a 486 DX4-100 with Win 3.11 installed and an absolutely massive VESA local bus video card...I eventually upgraded that to a Pentium 166 MMX, which I overclocked to a whopping 183 MHz. That wasn't even 15 years ago. Those didn't really even need heatsinks, but the overclockers installed some that were very much like the ones on that battery.Lowgear wrote:What PC in the last 20+ years has had a CPU heatsink like that?

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
This seller has been on the cutting edge of lipo cooling technology for quite some time. A while back I bought a cooling system from him. The auction showed a picture of ice cubes, but when it arrived all I got was an empty wet envelope. Needless to say he got a negative...

Re: Batteries getting too hot? Here's a hi-tech solution
Hey, aren't Pentium II Slot 1 processors about the same size as a racing pack? I see a great recycling business where you sell the P2 casings as heat sinks for racing packs. I guess people will be really enthralled by bricking their car with the HUGE heatsink and fan assembly that these processors had....Coelacanth wrote:I've seen those on some AMD CPUs back in the day, as well as on 486's and the original Pentiums.

I've had these in my toolbox for a decade. Picked them up at a surplus electronics store but never found a use. The centers are 7mm.
