I am curious what people’s heatsink solutions are. Neither the R2 or R64 have any heatsink mounting holes, and I have never found a self-sticking thermal pad/glue that is actually thermal-conductive enough to be be worth it.
For the R2/R64, I have recently started using this:
- 20mm pure copper heatsink
- Non-sticking thermal pad (Innovation Cooling graphite pad)
- 20mm x 12mm compression spring between case and heatsink
The pad is completely non-sticking, so I glue one small corner of it to the CPU with super glue, then do the same thing with one corner of the heatsink. Just so it’s not flopping around. Then I use the spring between the top of the heatsink and the case to push the whole thing down.
It’s still ungainly, but it has really good performance.
I’m curious as to what other people’s solutions are.
EDIT: Also, has anyone found good heatsinks to fit the R3’s 43mm holes?
