In the meantime I got my own NUC8i7BEH and think it runs atypically warm. (usually 52+ degrees on Windows idle, 57 in UEFI). I ordered some first grade cooling paste and thermal pads and will try to get it down a bit. Might also be intersting on your side to make the first part of your passive...

The thin part in the middle would limit the heat transport quite a bit. If you could avoid that, you should. Such a neck, that is only half as wide, would decrease the thermal transport by 50%!!! The one depicted up there would be even worse. Think of it as a pipe that drains a lake (factually...

A copper block might help. Aluminium has a thermal conductivity of around 210 W/(m*K) at the higher end of the temperature spectrum you are using it in. Copper has 380 W/(m*K). So that makes an increase in thermal conductivity of 81%. But thickness also plays a big role. Thermal conductivity is...

Funny test. Very entertaining read, thank you. Mine is not as entertaining, but there are tests that show some difference (that seems to be consistant with other tests): Best Thermal Paste for CPUS and GPUs - 85 Products Tested, Compared One thing to note is that it is pretty much useless to...

Sure, the main load on the CPU will be most important. But the hope is that you will find a combination, that allows for that few extra percent of performance, that will help making your system futureproof :-)

Did you try to increase airflow around the RAM and SSD? Maybe some kind of chimney-solution would help: build a (mostly) airtight enclosure around the lower part of your big passive cooler (with some room to the sides). The ascending warm air should draw at least some air from the lower part of...

What I would find interesting would be a reliable and clean way to mount third party coolers reliably. Although I am still waiting for my NUC8I7BEH and don't know how it will handle my typical use in terms of noise, I very much want to have an upgrade path for cooling that thing in an acceptably...

Wow, that is al LOT of thermal compound! Might really be worth to replace it with a more reasonable amount of a well working brand (Thermal Grizzly Cryonout did great in a comprehensive test by tomshardware - pretty much the best non "liquid metal" one. I shy away from those so it has to be a...

Thank you very much for the swift answer. The linked review was a great read and it in deed gave me detailed pictures of the cooling (and every other component). One thing missing was the thermal paste. What was your impression of the amount and quality used on your NUC?

Very interesting post and finally some images from the new Bean Canyon's inside. Thank you very much for that. Do you by chance have some images of the cooling from beginning to end of the disassembly? I am wondering, how big the stock blower is (width and thickness) to estimate noise (and I...
