Apollo 040 Amiga 1200 tower

[lassie]

Hello
Do you know if i should have a fan for my apollo 040 when it is in a tower? Or is it ok without fan.

[lassie]

It can never hurt to have a fan on an 040 they get pretty hot, but even the desktop accelerators for the A1200 didn't have, and there was no air flow there.

Should be fine in a tower without one.

Thanks for answer :-) Many just told me it would crash and burn out. But it try to use it without fan.

Hmm what to do, what if i just use max 2 hours at the time until i can see if i can get a fan?

You've got like, 20 computers in your signature.  Just borrow a fan out of another system if you don't already have one handy.  :laughing:

There is only fan in the 4000 and 2000, and those are some big fans, don't think it will fit in this one :-)

Technically you don't need a fan, but the choice is yours. If it was my CPU, I wouldn't be happy unless there was a heat sink or fan on there. I'd say that any 'sensible' Amiga owner would use one or the other.

Hi
Do you have a link for a heat sink, i might use for it?

Hi
I have order a heat sink and that thermal paste, i hope it will work so it don't get to warm.

Now i have put a heat sink on the Apollo :-) hope it is enough, so it don't get too warm.
