recommended replacement for BPPC ppc-heatsink
« on: November 22, 2007, 09:50:21 AM »
I was there thinking that the original Phase5 black heatsink on the ppc is just too crap. Why? Without the metal plate fix (a small flat piece of metal under the heatsink) it's not cooling the ppc too well (not making proper contact). So, i thought: let's remove the original black heatsink and add your own solution. But what kind of solution would work and cool the poor ppc nicely? How to attach one on the ppc? Here is a picture i found of the ppc without any heatsink.

Any cool thoughts please, am i making any sense here :-)?

If going totally crazy, one could get the latest (and fastest) revision of BOTH 68060 & PPC chips, getting the old ones off and soldering them newer ones in place :-D. But where to find these chips and how much the cost??? I'd like to tune my BPPC to the max :-P !

@Piru
Erm...none. If i win in the lottery i buy the chips and send them and the card to france :-).

I think i let the original heatsink be in place for now.
