>create lego-like heatsink blocks that fit lego-like connectors in 8/12cm fans
>create standard base
>buy few parts for your 40W TDP processor
>upgrade to 105W, just buy some more blocks instead of a new heatsink
>change case, airflow is fucked
>rearrange blocks to work better on new case
why hasn't this been done yet?

this is what happens when you try to explain a null result.

Solution in search of a problem

A better idea would be vertical slices with a common clamping mechanism

>>107844971
you can get a top tier heatsink for 60-80 bucks, how cheap would this nonsense and its "expansions" need to be to make sense for anyone to produce or buy?

This is idiotic on so many levels. You have a multiplication and an exponent with AI just being an offset. AI needs to be huge to make a diffrence in this equation. And even then, it's less powerfull than m or c.

It's actually quite accurate: AI can make you a +10 developer but not a 10x developer.

Been here on and off since ca. 2011. Whats the reference?

Okay, I'll humor you. Let's ignore economics for this because as >>107846153 already pointed out there really isn't a reason against spending $20 initially more to get a better fan, it's just keeping your low tdp part cooler and runs quieter, so not a lot of reasons to cheap out l, yet also not a lot of budget for the upfrade shit to be worth it either...

Now, physics:
As you can hopefully imagine, clicking together solid metal blocks isn't always easy. The heatsink luckily isn't fully solid, so it may work, but the connection between the elements is far worse than if they were one object, kinda like the connection of the heat spreader to the heatsink is a bottleneck. So you'd need to apply thermal paste between any part you connect - or maybe you're lucky and you do this in a near-perfect vacuum so the metal parts fuse together if there's no oxidation on the surface present.
So realistically, heat transfer is just shit..

And then there are the heat pipes, which obviously don't work at all like this because they're not airtight. So yeah, it makes no sense.

Modern coolers all use heatpipes. No way of getting the same heat transfer with a solide metall block.

there is something quite similar out there - it's called water-cooling and it's one of the most expensive ways to cool your PC (I should know I've been running custom loops for 20 years)
>>
>>107844971
It would be difficult for heat to spread because it is in pieces and there are gaps in between.

It's some brit show about incel channer who keeps a physical folder of printed memes to look at. "you're among friends here" and all that shit.
