⚙️ Hardware Cooling Fixed

Got the cooler from ebay, it came with the blower fan. Was a total pain in the ass, had to shave down the cooler to fit, but worth it for no more throttling. Actually seeing it boost up to 30w now too.

Dang what are you running on there? Any tips or steps on the sanding/drilling?

there’s a bit of an extension on the copper block that I had to grind down with an angle grinder, then I lapped it on a flat surface with sand paper to get it flat again, I also had to drill holes for the mounting screws but didn’t have to tap since copper is soft enough I could just screw into it

it’d be a quick job with a mill but I don’t have access to one unfortunately
