fan on BPPC
« on: April 01, 2008, 09:31:54 PM »
I'd like to attach a fan (70x70x15mm or maybe 50x50x10mm) onto PPC *heatsink* in A1200 desktop, because of heating..
I have no idea how to do it except using double-sided self adhesive tape (which I won't 'cause it should be replaced some day)
how should I proceed?

edit: mistake, fan is supposed to go on heatsink not chip
Better sorry than worry.

I'll think about it, thanks.

er, I considered using hot glue. It is a bit silly trying to use it on hot surface, but if the fan works as it should, there might be no problems, eh?
(I like hot glue since it is easily removable)

um, thanks but you misunderstood me.
I have already placed a selfadhesive heatsink+fan  on bvision, thats not the problem (hopefully).
The thing is PPC chip already has heatsink, and placing another one on top of it tough in desktop A1200 because of space. So, I just want to use glue between original heatsink and fan (not on chip).
Unfortunately all thermal pastes that I could find here aren't "thermal glue". and it doesn't matter much in this case anyway because fan is made of plastic (poor heat conductor), not metal.
Better sorry than worry.

amije, you can buy on ebay dublesided selfadhesive thermal tape. its not cheap, and it might be difficult to get exact size you need. (I think its ok if its a bit smaller)
if you don't mind using new heatsink, you can look for chipset coolers  with adhesive, such as this one, again not cheap.. but I think solving this problem is worth the money.

of course, first clean both chip and heatslink with isopropyl or something.
Better sorry than worry.

I thought about it, too. It shouldn't be that low for a reasonably sized fan. Still, the problem is that hot air has no way of getting out.
Also, the new fan will be blowing against the original small one, if I'm not mistaken.
But, what the heck I'm gonna try it anyway.
The best solution would probably be replacing original one, but since this is in desktop a1200, that is not an option.
Better sorry than worry.
