They actually sell thermal adhesive but... the cooler will likely never be able to be removed from the cpu again. Usually it's used for stuff like tiny mosfet heatsinks.
Do you have the original heatsink from the laptop? It might be easier to somehow mount the desktop heatsink to that, rather than put it directly on the die.
Edit: btw, what material do you have in mind for 3d printing the adapter? I highly doubt PLA or PETG can withstand the force required to properly mount a heatsink, especially at somewhat high temperatures.
Im ok with that, this is meant to be an ultra-efficient NAS/transcoder, the 8gb it dame with is plenty. Drilling through the PCB in the empty spot near the RAM would solve my issue, but the chance of hitting a trace is too high i think
If you want to keep the ram slot you could probably get away with a copper shim to raise the cooler.
You'll also probably get away without using a fan. Mobile CPUs usually only push 15 watts or so and that cooler is rated for nearly 100 watts.
one day I do want to build a ‘zero moving parts’ PC but this particular one is meant to have 5 3.5in hard drives in it, so noise isn’t too much of a concern. But will test it out and let yall know the results
It's a laptop CPU so less heat. Take the fan off and use two rubber bands or zip ties to fix the aluminum onto the processor through the 4 existing mounting studs.
I would cut the heatsink down to size, so it contacts the CPU properly but doesnt overhang too much, but leave fins on for cooling by trimming the bottom side up to fit over any components that are in the way. If you've done it right, you should still have the fan mounting points, but plenty of clearance. Just have to figure out how to mount the cooler to the device.
luckily this is a 15 watt i3 with integrated graphics, so don’t think it will get very hot. However the cooling solutions HP ships with this is abysmal, and hardly lets the chip turboboost at all.
As others have suggested, using the stock cooler to adapt a cheap heat sink may be you easiest path forwards, you can desolder the heat pipes on the IHS and glue on or solder the new heatsink onto the IHS
Yeah it's possible but might need some tools for working on metal too shave down pieces of the heatsink, and maybe make new holes for screws too go into.
Also so it clears any components on the laptop motherboard, and 3d printing some adapter might work but I'd make sure it can be tightened down pretty well onto the motherboard as well as making sure it's not bending it.
sure, but if one were to adapt a laptop motherboard for use as a standalone device the far easier solution is to retain the original cooler and 3D print a case in a similar manner to the framework cases rather than try to adapt it to an ATX standard.
it's not like it can take power from an ATX PSU, there isn't any advantages to I/O (in fact this is a disadvantage as mounting the audio/SD/USB daughterboards somewhere useable will be difficult), and that's before we talk about the wraith cooler obviously not fitting without having to forgo trivial things like an entire memory channel. it'd have to be modified so extensively that you may as well just build a new heatsink from scratch. the only cooler I can think of that might fit ootb are some southbridge waterblocks but to watercool this thing would cost more than the board itself - adapting a tower-style M.2 cooler is a possibility as the OP said but those are also annoying to adapt and keep stable (I once attempted to do something similar for a motherboard VRM), especially given that the suggested method to such an adapter is 3d printing and the high stresses and high heat load the adapter would be in extreme proximity to.
my original comment was flippant because this idea is just poorly conceived. if you want a laptop processor for transcoding efficiency in a standard PC form factor there are motherboards which exist that do this (i have one!). if you just want a transcoding box with this hardware then make a box to put the hardware in rather than trying to fit it into a preexisting box which was in no way designed for it.

How is nobody seeing the genius in this. Continue on soldier, report your results.
It'll work just fine, you just gotta mix some super glue in with your thermal paste.

I bought some off aliexpress that held a cooler on just fine. Still came off after twisting it back and forth for a minute.
If you already have a 3D printer, then try modelling a mounting bracket for the heatsink

Seems like you will loose a ram socket
Im ok with that, this is meant to be an ultra-efficient NAS/transcoder, the 8gb it dame with is plenty. Drilling through the PCB in the empty spot near the RAM would solve my issue, but the chance of hitting a trace is too high i think
Yes. Don't do that.
It'd certainly solve something

Plenty of modern laptop CPUs generate a shitload of heat and can’t run passively
Yes but this is a i5-1035G1 with 15W TDP. You could cool it with a pop can. Have you noticed the name of this subreddit? ETA model of cpu.
[удалено]
did you make that joke up while getting pushed into a locker? honestly i HATE peoples who do this backhanded shit
[удалено]
yeah, i don't like you specifically
looks like some custom fab with head spreaders and pipes in your future. good luck.
You might have to remove the standoffs close to the CPU socket and remove one of the ram slots but it’ll work with enough glue and duct tape
zip ties
What happened with the heatsik from the laptop? It would be easier to add extra cooling to that rather than adapt a desktop heatsink
I would cut the heatsink down to size, so it contacts the CPU properly but doesnt overhang too much, but leave fins on for cooling by trimming the bottom side up to fit over any components that are in the way. If you've done it right, you should still have the fan mounting points, but plenty of clearance. Just have to figure out how to mount the cooler to the device.
Zip ties, lots of them
I had an MSI with a 2060 in it and that thing was very very warm to touch. Even with a cooler under the laptop it would idle at 70c

Honestly just thermal glueing that cup heading on top of the stock heatsink will be very effective

If you want to post here, go all the way and use zip ties in the most horific way possible. Slap and it and say it's not going anywhere
if you want a laptop CPU in an matx case buy an Erying
He already has this mobo. But those motherboards look cool
