Hi:
Just a simple question, the sheilding off is better to cool the motherboard or on the contrary?
I've heard to comment that with it off it will be cooler, but I was thinking if you are going to put a fan blowing air from outside to inside the sheilding won't it be cooler that without the sheilding?
I was thinking just in how a Beetle engine (yes, the car, and it isn't water cooled) gets refrigerated, and it's only a fan moved by the engine making the air cool it. The engine compartment is sealed with metal plaques and if you remove any it will get hotter.
And I was thinking too that the metal sheilding will warm the hottest parts of the mb that will be near to it with the coldest ones.
What do you say?
Not a good comparison. The "Beetle" sheet metal that keeps the heated air around the exhaust system from entering the engine compartment is not filled with ventilation holes like the shielding inside the A500/A600/A1200, or any other computer models.
The shielding inside the above referenced Amiga computers is there only for electronic interference, not heat control.
