Copper plate cooling – iFunk S14

[Chris G]

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! Yes it looks like others I’ve seen just a pull up and it will come off with a little force. It will have either a thermal pad or paste which is maybe why it feels stuck on. Clean it up and you could add a shim between with some decent thermal paste.

And then screw it down it will give a nice amount of pressure on it. But I wouldn’t go over 1mm thick.

Then I normally add a 1-2mm depending on space thermal pad on top of it to then transfer heat to the rear of the body. Use an older version of XTU to undervolt once stable increase the power limits and watch the FPS improve dramatically. But watch the temps, keep it under 90 degrees C and even lower is better.

Thanks Chris!

I tried the Half Life Lost Coast benchmark, 4.5W to 6W (with XTU) took it from 59 to 90fps. Amazing! It did hit mid 70’s by end of benchmark, so hoping an undervolt and little bit of modding will get it down closer to original temps.

Yes, it makes a huge difference mostly just on the iGPU as it will be able to hold the higher turbos but when under lower TDP it’s severely limited the GPU turbo.
