A3640 Cooler for A3000D

[Brian]

I'm looking for recommendations for a low-profile heatsink & fan to use on my A3640 mounted in an Amiga 3000D. I had intended to use a 486 CPU Heatsink & Fan such as this one, as I thought I had read that others have use similar models, but upon testing it I found that it is to tall. I've also seen recommendations for chipset, and vga coolers, but I figure that one of you might know of a specific working option for me, as I'd prefer not to play musical heatsinks.

Thanks!

I don't remember exactly high limit for the heatsink and don't own an A3000 any longer to check so I can only give suggestions. Depending on space you could try a slim CPU heatsink such as ID-COOLING IS-25i (could possible modify the mount to hold the heatsink but 25mm high) but a VGA cooler (15mm high) fastened with thermal adhesive could also do it.

You could also get something like a bigger or smaller untraditional heatsink, by replace the fan with a soft thermalpad the heatsinks design with a solid center would act like a shim and on contact with the A3000D drivecage allow for it to work as part of the heatsink aswell.
