I guess the risks here are that the paper cooks off or crisps up over time, the tape plastic or glue melts into the cooler, or the loop becomes dislodged and jams into a fan somewhere, causing an overheat. 3d printed rings might be a good, cheap option if the gap is not too small.
Bit silly that the fan didn't ship with something like this stock.
- Vecr 5y agoNomex paper and Kapton tape (as long as it's rated for the right temps) might be better, but normal paper is not really that flammable at CPU temps as long as there are no sparks, arcs, or flames.
- klysm 5y agoIf there are sparks, arcs, or flames happening around your CPU, something is seriously wrong.
- girvo 5y agoAnd the paper cowl catching fire is probably the least of your problems.

- madaxe_again 5y agoI’m sorry, your motherboard had a socket for a claw hammer?

- klysm 5y agoAnd that resulted in fire/sparks?
- ungamedplayer 5y agoMany. And hot melted plastic.
- ehnto 5y agoIt probably passed an overall dB check but it has some very annoying frequencies in it.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoModern CPUs won't overheat unless thermal limits are specifically disabled in BIOS. Most decent motherboards even offer the ability to set a custom, lower limit, and/or to set an action temperature where the system sleeps or shuts down. I have my thermal throttle set at 90c, because I know my cooler won't exceed about 80c even under the heaviest load. 90c means something's wrong.
- The_rationalist 5y agoMaybe it needs some flextape
- Hamuko 5y ago>Bit silly that the fan didn't ship with something like this stock. Cost cutting for something that isn't really that integral part of the Intel CPU experience, as OEMs often have their own cooling solutions (Dell has load-bearing coolers!), and hardware enthusiasts just buy better cooling if they demand lower noise.
- DoingIsLearning 5y ago> cooks off or crisps up Off-topic but as a non-native speaker, English language phrasal verbs are one of the most bewildering things in the language.
- SturgeonsLaw 5y agoHonestly I don't even know how you'd go about learning that stuff. English is such a mishmash of words, phrases and rules that I consider myself lucky I grew up with it and don't have to try and make sense of this nonsense.
- NickNameNick 5y agoOther languages have "borrow words". English mugs other languages for loose grammar.
- triactual 5y agoUL94-V0 polycarbonate sheet or fish paper. Heatsink could easily get over the glass temp of common 3D printing materials like PLA or PETG.
- mewse-hn 5y agoABS would be fine, maybe printed in vase mode to be extra thin
- triactual 5y agoNot flame proof though. You don’t want to put flammable things in something like a computer case that will be running unattended. I get that people do this stuff all the time with no issue. Just know the risks before taking them.
