Is your '030 really getting that hot? None of the 68030 Amigas I use have ever had any cooling on the CPU, and have been running 10 years plus. They run from 33MHz to 40MHz.
My 68040 machine is another story. That puppy gets HOT and needs a heat sink/fan.
Be craeful you don't run out of room adding a heat sink/fan to an A1200 desktop.

You're a technician? Then what I would suggest is getting a couple of the newest type thermistors, and hook them up so you know temp things are running at! Don't guess.
At todays prices they're really cheap, and you can get a small LCD module to recieve the output. Cheap peace of mind.....

Add.) The Logisys FP206 is a good controller - costs under $30.00, has LCD, and will display temps from thermistors and allow setting fan speeds.
I first saw this in the March issue of CPU magazine....
