68030 temperature

[steve30]

How hot should the 68030 processor run?

I had it running in my blizzard 1230 for a few hours yesterday and it burnt me when I touched it. :-o

[steve30]

I can't even have my trapdoor cover on. The memory stcik sticks out and makes the amiga wobble.

I'll have to make some sort of stand for it so it sits flat.

[steve30]

Yes, it's 128mb.

[steve30]

It came with 128MB.

And cost less than the 32mb version at amigakit

At least I shouldn't run out of memory. :-D

[steve30]

Don't know.

The actual processor gets very hot (+50 degrees c). The heat on the memory stick seems to have come from the processor

The memory stcik probably stops some of the heat from escaping.

What are the latest x86 processors like?

The fastest one I have is a 500MHz Pentium III so it only needs a basic fan and heatsink and doesn't really get hot enough to fry the other chips.

(please say if you understand the joke in that last sentence) :lol:

[steve30]

Those x86 processors sound as if they get too hot. I don't think I'll be upgrading mine in the near futre then if it needs water cooling!

I have not put my A1200 in a 500 case, but I might have a spare 500 case soon so I might put a PC in it.

[steve30]

OMG!!

I never knew they got to those sorts of temperatures. I only thought it was high end processors thatgot that hot.

Computers are going to end up replacing central heating systems soon. :-o
