PPC probs,1D4 most problematic?

[Amigaz]

Have you put on a new BPPC cooling fan? remember that these fans are 10 years old and also check that you have fresh thermo conductive paste between the PPC and the heatsink

My mobo is also an ID4 with the same BPPC specs

Ok it has just rest again,the good ol mp3 stutter and then reset.

Right,where is the heatsink on the ppc board exactly?The big black thing right?

Yes, it's the big, black square thing held by clips
Don't forget to switch fan if it's the original fan...have a new fan on both my BPPC's

Since it now runs longer with extra cooling it smells bad PPC cooling...

Ok then i'll see about replacing the fan,erm most 40mm fans have the 3 pin socket on and the ppc seems to have the 2 pin?

Yep, but the 3rd pin is often just for the RPM signal

The PPC fan is a 30mm fan...Amigakit and PG here on the board has them for sale

Hmm amigakit dont seem to have any 30mm fans at the mo and just the 40mm/80mm.

Looks like Amigakit has removed the item from their inventory
Check if PG has some left
