I have an Apollo 040 inside my A1200 in a desktop case. It does have a small fan attached directly to the cpu (no heatsink). Haven't had any heat or stability issues at all.

My A500 is a rather hefty machine with a GVP-A530T (030 chip, 40mhz) and 9 megs ram (512+512trapdoor, 8M on A530T).
Has 1.3 roms and softkicks 3.1.



Be sure to check the fan is secure regularly.

I had an Apollo 040 in my A1200.  Unfortunately the fan worked itself loose from the CPU without me realising.

One fried CPU later the board is dead.  I was gutted.Wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else.
