Cyberstorm PPC - 040/060 fans
« on: September 03, 2007, 12:15:21 AM »
Hi folks,

I just picked up a Cyberstorm PPC for my A3000D, I think it's the 200Mhz version ( has 200P written on the chip ).

The PPC fan is dying and I know I can get a replacement for it from Amigakit however, I don't believe they have one for the 060/040. My card has 060 onboard with no fan, it's going to need one in summer.

Can anybody recommend a good fan & heatsink for the 060 ?

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll get one.

Will that require a modification to the drive bay in order for the accelerator to fit with the new fan ?

Temperatures can get quite high in Australia during summer, I don't think air blowing onto the 060 is going to help keep it cool, especially in an A3000D where everything is tight and there isn't much room for the hot air to escape.

I think this looks really cool, might go this route just to give myself piece of mind. I know the other chips get hot too especially in the A3000 where things are tight.
