I’ve just ordered mine as well and the temps Chris mentioned in his video also make me consider doing a mod. Just need to find a good source for the copper shims and the right dimensions that can ship it to Sweden in a short time.
Looking at Chris previous videos on the cube i9 (link1, link2) as well as this guy who does a more step by step video, I would speculate that 1mm thickness would be ok and 20mm x 20mm seems to minimise thge risk of not covering the whole chip.
Just make sure you have thermal adhesive pad as well as you probably need the copper to stick on the shielding unit.
Odd thing is that the unit in the picture in the first post seem to be missing a thermal pad between the shielding and the copper film. There is a slightly dented rectangular area in the shielding above the CPU/GPU, but no pad to be found. Sloppy assembly or intentional? would be good to know if Chris temps are due to one thermal pad missing or if it is a subpar thermal compound they are using.
Any thoughts on this Chris or Likom? Can you post some vidoes of how to open the tablet as well as vidoes of the thermal solution? (and yes I am just teasing you to get someone else to open their tablet so I don’t have to do it “blind” :P)
