Today we have the second part of our Intel Mod Series - with the Intel NUC 9 Extreme. Today James runs some tests to modify the Element board to incorporate custom watercooling, including a chat with Luke, our aeronautics engineer as we plan to create our own cooling block. read more here: https://bit.ly/36D4LZk 00:00 Video start 00:03 Introduction 01:03 Basemark Benchmark results 01:54 A brief recap and close up look at the compute element hardware 08:14 Some possible solutions 13:02 CAD cooling design with Luke (we will produce final cooling solution) 21:50 Test: original heatsink and attaching a block 25:50 Checking clearance 26:53 Cutting the block and attaching fittings 29:50 Thermal Compound with zip tie test 30:58 An overview of the finished solution 32:18 Post and thermal test with the prototype 34:38 … coming next • Desoldering the heatsink VRM extension piece using the heat gun. • Levelling off the top of the copper plate with wet sanding to improve Water block contact. • Fitting the card back into the case to check the clearance between the Compute Element and the GPU. • Not enough space, swapped to a different Alphacool block with a lower profile. • Attach the Water block to the stock heatsink with Zip Ties to check clearances. • The card fits with the water block installed with approx 5mm clearance to the GPU backplate. • Test boot of the system with the water block fitted to check that nothing has been damaged.
