Bill of Materials
Description
After upgrading my CPU, I encountered high temperature issues with my motherboard's VRMs. I resolved this by replacing the thermal pads with Thermal Grizzly Advanced Putty and then designing this custom cover. Previously, temperatures were reaching up to 100°C, which prompted me to stop testing. With the new cover, the system can now run for 30 minutes straight with a maximum temperature of approximately 70°C.
This design accommodates any 40mm fan. To mount the fan, you can use standard PC fan screws from the inside of the shroud, as shown in the accompanying picture.
For mounting the shroud to the motherboard, double-sided foam tape can be applied at the specific point indicated in the picture.
I printed this on a Carbon Fiber Effect plate using Bambu Lab PETG HF on a P1S, but feel free to use your preferred plate.
Please note that you may need to remove your CPU cooler to mount the shroud and then reinstall it. However, with my Corsair 360mm Titan, I was able to install it without removing the pump from the CPU.
The fan I used for this setup is: Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX
