Heat is something i am concerned about too....
But the sink is glued to the 040 and i don't want to put any stress to it removing the sink.
I have downloaded the software disks from
hereThe simms have eight chips on them.
However, reading the size of them is a whole other story...
They are labeled: mcm84000as70 and the chips bear the Motorola mark...
EDIT:
After removing the sink and the thermal compound, i see that it is a XC68040RC25. The serial suggest that it is supposed to run @ 25Mhz... ant this card is clocked to run 40...
(according to the seller)
How can I slow it down?
Is that a matter of swapping the crystal?
(it is clocked to 56Mhz)
