A1200/040 (still in classic case) HSF issue
« on: December 28, 2008, 08:19:25 AM »
Recently I found that the HSF (well, it mostly is a stuck-on fan, I don't see much in the way of a heatsink) has come unstuck from the processor.  What can I use to safely re-stick it, or alternative solutions, which brings me to my second question...

The trap door that came with the card never has fitted correctly since the accelerator card was put in (it bulges where the HSF sticks out).  Also, the accelerator card hangs a little from the socket.  When I was using my A1200 (which hasn't been for some years) I would use a bit of rubber to wedge between the card and the case to hold it in place, and also have extra rubber feet under the A1200 to give it a bit more breathing room, without using the trap door.  Alternative solutions?
