68060's temperature

[Framiga]

eh, eh , eh :-) 90C degrees a 060!?!

anyway . . . there are different revisions/mask around.

my XC clocked at 60 Mhz, reaches 39 degrees without heatsink and about 36 with a heatsink (no need of a fan).

Another one (an earlier revision) runs "hotter" (at least 4-5 degrees more)

In both situation theres no problems at all. (if installed on a tower or with a good air flow.

Last but not least, i think that the quality of the power stabilization/ripple, could rise the components themperature as well.

to be more precise, when my XC was clocked to 50 Mhz, it was cold to the touch (in a tower with a good airflow).

The 70C degrees reported on the Motorola 060 datasheet, are as maximum degrees in "only Jesus knows" enviroment (test/stress-quality control)

Inside a desktop A1200, its another thing. (on a BlizPPC is the PPC-ram controller-voltage regulator that rises the themperature even of the 060)

Anyway if you use the 060 inside a desktop A1200 and its not overclocked, i don't think that you need ant extra cooling. (or if you you want to be 100% safe, put a small heatsink . . .just for the sake of)
