When I got my CSPPC there was a huge but unoriginal heat-sink mounted with a couple of strips.

It has worked reasonably well so far but it has gotten loose and I am getting huge instability problems.

Can anybody recommend a good heat-sink incl. fan for a CSPPC?

Thank you in advance!


Something big with a fan on it (preferably made of copper.
If you need to secure it, I've used Thermaltake Arctic Adhesive before.
Its meant for memory heatsinks (not cpus).
Spread as thin as possible while still getting a good coating.

And definitely remember the fan.
Passive cooling sucks.

The most important thing is to cool the mach chips which are located between the sim slots many CSPPC cards have died due to hot mach chips.



The same adhesive would work to attach heatsinks to attach those.
Remember, as BIG as can fit. If not copper, aluminum.
