"windstille" - the cooler for the MSI Wind Netbook
Donnerstag, 7. August 2008, 23:59
MSI has recently put the MSI wind netbook computer on the market. The inner worths are good except for a small thing: the extremely thin cooling plate for the CPU and northbridge offers only a low cooling capacity.
We produced a cooling block from solid aluminium with the suitable German name "windstille" (means calm). Besides CPU and Northbrdige the passive cooler with a weight of only 20 grams also covers the southbrdige. Thanks to its stability a higher contact pressure is possible and the assembly can be done with thermal grease.
Small cooling fins are on the top of the cooler to pass the heat on to the air; primarily if the built-in fan of the Wind starts to work.
"windstille" will be available soon and costs 19,90 EUR.
