Best 060 accelerator? Amiga Tech A4060?

ReDrum,  What is your plan for making the accelerator fit between the motherboard and the cross support that runs from the front of your A3000T to the back and holds your hard-drive(s).  To run the speeds you are talking will require fans for cooling the chips that may not fit.  I certainly hope you're not planning on cutting up the cross brace and undoing some of the originality of the A3000T.  You very well could be losing more than you are gaining.

Your card is an 060 that is overclocked?  You must have a fan at that point.  If the fan fits it is blowing onto a sheet of metal just a fraction of an inch away?  You don't see a problem with this?  I agree an 060 will fit easily that is not overclocked and has no fan.  ReDrum is talking about overclocking by a lot.

75MHz should be fine with just a good heatsink.

About 2 years ago I sent an 060@50 to the Good Doctor in France to be upgraded.  When I got it back it was upgraded to 65MHz which he said he had determined was the fastest that my particular board after his tests could be overclocked.  It had 3 very small heat sinks on 3 smaller chips on the board and a large fan on the 060.

I think alexh should maybe enlighten the Good Doctor to the fact that he doesn't need any fans and that it is a waste of money even though he is one of the top techs that still does this kind of work.  

I guess if anyone wants to take the chance of overclocking their accelerators without cooling them then go ahead, but you may want to check first on the availability of replacements and their price.
