Blizzard PPC Heatsink/Fan
« on: December 22, 2012, 11:25:26 AM »
I have a towerized A1200 with a Blizzard PPC and 68060. The 68K side is completely stable and the fan that is on the board is sufficient to keep it running smoothly (it was replaced when the 68060 was upgraded). The PPC however has a solid plate heat sink and shortly after use becomes unstable due to heat issues.

I've tried a couple of times to solve it and they all worked for a while. Things like velcro'ed fans and what not but there is no good way I can see to attach a fan on there. Can someone recommend an actively cooled solution?

I've already placed arctic silver on there. The problem is I need an active cooling solution; i.e. something with a fan. I just can't seem to locate a good solution for this given the the BPPC's non-standard heat sink clips and no place to attach a fan.

That's why I'm asking here; I'm sure someone else on this site has solved this problem.
