Suggestions for heat-sink for CSPPC
« on: May 26, 2013, 07:27:28 PM »
When I got my CSPPC there was a huge but unoriginal heat-sink mounted with a couple of strips.

It has worked reasonably well so far but it has gotten loose and I am getting huge instability problems.

Can anybody recommend a good heat-sink incl. fan for a CSPPC?

Thank you in advance!
Booooiiiing!!!!

Thank you for the answers.

Would passive cooling (just a big heat sink on top of the PPC-processor) be enough? Or do I have to find a heat-sink with fan?

I am thinking about something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Swiftech-MCX159-CU-Universal-Heatsink-Included/dp/B000BAWNQS

Or this

http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/akasa-chipset-blue-led-universal.html

Any comments on that?

The akasa is attached with an adhesive tape. I would think that would be ok.

The Swiftech is another matter ....

The heat-sink I got with my CSPPC is a huge block attached with a couple of strips. Not the best solution ....

Do you have a spare original heat-sink you are willing to sell? :-)
Booooiiiing!!!!
