68030 temperature

[Wayne]

steve30,

the 68030 not needs any fan,so if runs very hot leave it alone...thats all and that's normal
also the 68060 cpu not needs any fan cause 3.3 volts technology
only the 68040 needs a fan so the use of that 1240 turboboards are not recommended on a normal A1200 case

bye, Laser

I guess not enough space for a heatsink and maybe a fan?

Laser: Do you have a bad stutter?

;-)

I feel a little uneasy about being able to feel the heat of my '060 through the SIMM, the air, the trapdoor cover, some more air and half an inch of wood.

Can anyone reccomend some sort of silent heatpipe/cooler for A1200 desktops?

I've seen some copper memory module coolers in a local shop but not for 72-pin SIMMs. It'd be interesting just to get some sort of thermometer device in there just to keep an eye on temperatures - particularly with a PPC/BVision combo.

Anyone transplanted an A1200 into an A500?

:-D

 On my Blizzard 1230IV the 68030/50 was too hot to the touch and specially in the summers it use to crash often because of this. All these with the trapdoor cover removed of course. I don't know why ppl keep it on, anyway.
 The overheating/stability problem was fixed when i removed a part of the plastic case of my A1200, just to expose the CPU and screwed a fast fan over it.

 Oh, sorry about the multiple post but it's not my fault. (It happened to laser too) When i press the submit button i get an error message "the link contains no data" or something instead of the "thank you for your submission"

I used to have an Elbox 1230-II, on which the CPU ran extremely hot. I put a heatsink from a PC's southbridge (those are genereally quite small), and that fit fine. The system ran much more stable after that.

[steve30]

Those x86 processors sound as if they get too hot. I don't think I'll be upgrading mine in the near futre then if it needs water cooling!

I have not put my A1200 in a 500 case, but I might have a spare 500 case soon so I might put a PC in it.

It's hard to fit any fan on the CPU in the desktop case (may as well say impossible).
There is an interesting article in CPU magazine (pp39 of the March '06 issue) on using thermistors to keep track of just how hot the component is. This way you'll know if it's getting too hot.

PS - any of the RAM heat sinks can be trimmed to fit your RAM.

I would attach a small vga cooler, got one here which is about 5mm high with a small fan.

However I think due to the very low power consumption of the 030 you can get away with only a small passive heatsink, if there are some airflow where the cpu sits otherwise it would be next to useless.

Remember cool hardware is happy hardware  :-P

Going back to my happy-place  ;-)

My athlon palomino 2100 is slightly overclocked to 1950Mhz. it used to run at 60C idle and was noisy, now 18C on chilled water.  I always fitted fans on all my Amiga accelerators 030->060 but only the `040 ever had any heat-related instability.
