I modded my lapbook with a heatpipe that transfers heat from the middle of the metal CPU shield to the metal bar for added thermal mass. Never been able to push the lapbook beyond 76 degrees Celsius ever since even when stress-testing with Prime95 for a few hours and the Lapbook being plugged in for charging at the same time. The bar stays inside.

Hi Razor Blader,

Could you expand a little on the “how” and with “what” you modded your lapbook? I realised that even with the added heat spreader of rev 3, I can still push the CPU to 90°C in no time. Do you have a link or a tutorial? I’m really interested in this. Thanks!

I tried this mod yesterday and I must say I prefer my lapbook with the metal bar. When the screen is at its maximum open position, it doesn’t sit firmly in place, the slightest breeze will move it. I’d like to point out the device does not tip over but it will sit balanced between the rear feet and the bottom of the screen. If I used it as a mobile companion I might consider it, but as a device I will use 99% at home, I prefer it to be more stable and rigid at the cost of about 150 grams more (1350 gr VS 1500 gr). Still, good to know I have the option!
