Blizzard 1260
« on: March 17, 2008, 10:37:32 PM »
Hi there,

i am testing my new Blizzard 1260 since a few hours ago and i notice that it goes much hoter than Bliz1230iv.

It haven't fan or heatsink and i don't want to damage it. Using it in a a1200 desktop... how can i make to sure a long life 060?

(mantain the trapdoor open, put a heatsink, elevate the miggy... towerize + fan (i don't like that)... give me your thoughts/experiences  :idea:

is a XC68060RC50 (mask? 01F43G QEDZ9546A).

i like the idea of a heatsink and cut the trapdoor... but i'm thinking to not canibalize the trapdoor and not close it, fixing the cpu card to avoid movement.

These do run a little warm. At 50 MHz you should be fine without active cooling (just leave the trap-door off and raise the machine up a little).
edit -- BTW, that is one sweet card you got! :)


i'll think how to raise it in a confortable way  :-?
And yes... a sweet card!!! i gives me the real amiga feeling

 I've put a notebook fan inside the 1200 case since when I have a 1230/50.


how to feed the fan? probably using df0 feed line?

i'll look for a heatsink suitable for the 060 and i'll keep the trapdoor open.

Another question is about the psu. since now i was using an original a500 psu. it will be sufficient or i'll need another power unit?

anyway i'll need a new psu because the old psu begins to fail (sometimes don't want to power on )

hi diego! umm nice 'fan thing :)

But i'm trying another kind of solution. I have bought some little vga heatsinks to use with a fan feeded from the df0 to move out the hot air inside the a1200 desktop box :D


i have not fixed the heatsinks to the 060, will be this ok?
