VRM heatsink with heatpipes

Stephen_102 · Oct 31, 2017

Im basically looking for some motherboard VRM/mosfet heatsink from non-working motherboards, something aesthetically pleasing as well. I dont know where to look for it, though I have found some listings online but those are some tiny heatsinks...
I really want those that came from old motherboards or maybe identical. (see sample image):

Do you guys have any idea where or how to get them? I innitially planned to order a customized one from CN.. but they'd prolly not have a combination of the heatsink and heat pipes.

I don't think those VRMs have a heat pipe. I'm guessing you're thinking the cylindrical center is a heat pipe? It wouldn't really make sense for it to be, as heat pipes are for transferring heat away from the heat source. That heatsink appears to just run adjacent to the row of VRMs, so it wouldn't really transfer heat anywhere. I would guess it's just a solid copper core.

They're heat pipes. It's not common because of how little they helped. I doubt you'd find aftermarket ones since vrm aren't the same distances apart on all mobos. If you have that exact mobo, it's easier to find the mobo itself. If the mobo didn't come with heatsinks, it's low end and not worth the effort.

Go to an electronics recycler or computer repair shop. It's not the kind of thing you can buy online because they are too worthless to bother listing.

Actually every pc mod site I know sells small heatsinks for vrm. Usually they are just stick on ones but you can also find some crazy tower heatsinks for vrm.
