Mount cooling fans
« on: April 02, 2005, 02:52:56 PM »
My Amiga is gettin' hot! How should i mount small cooling fans in a standard Amiga 1200 case? It's the regular small V cooling fans that fits perfect under the air ventilation on the top on the Amiga (over the F1-F10 buttons).
The problem is where i should get the power from.

I've manage to connect the fan by cut some wires. Hope it doesn't destroy something...it's connected like this:

I did just cut the black and red wire and connected the wire and red wire on the fan to them too. =)

Edit: Btw, thanks for the help!  :-)
Now it works good and looks good too.... :-P

The cut-of-a-wire tecniuqe worked good. But, the bigest problem is that the processor is UNDER the Amiga...on a expension board. That means, that it doesn't help much for the processor. Anyway, the rest of the amiga doesn't gettin' hot anymore. =)
