Cooling
« on: November 27, 2007, 02:24:16 PM »
Have ordered OS4.0 and was thinking about the heat situation when using a BPPC continually.
I have a Mirage tower and was thinking about fitting a PCI exhaust fan.
Are they any good and is does anyone have any particular favorite model?

Oh right, not the impression given elsewhere.
I was told that now the PPC will be running constantly, it will run very hot and cooling could be a problem.

Cheers.

The PPC currently has a fan attached.
Don't know much about it as I have not had it long.
The Voodoo I use has two fans attached.
Again bought this second hand so have no idea if they are standard or not.

No doubt a good idea, but I would be bricking it, If I had to do that myself.
I note AmigaKit fit them, but not fussed on the idea of sending it off.

Have seen round IDE cables being sold quite cheaply and think these might be a good idea to help with airflow.
I have also seen them for floppy drives.
Are the connections for Amiga and PC the same for floppy drive cables?
