Mini heatsyncs on chips of Amiga board?
Hi,
I have seen some pics of Amiga boards with little mini heatsyncs added on some chips (cant remember which ones). I have some of these leftover from years back when I used to refurb 360 consoles (Used to use them on RAM/ANA etc). I was just curious on if any of you used these on Amiga, whether they are needed or do any good/potentially or just placebo? And if so which chips do you recommend? TIA |

Run it carefully with the top off and see what gets hot. Sometimes old PALs or other chips get hot to the touch. No need cooling off a dead cold IC.

Kippers 608 board generates a lot of heat...
I was thinking heat sinks / fan might be needed |

It shouldn't!! The CPLD on board is a relatively modern one being clocked at a very slow clock rate. It should generate little or no heat.
All I can think of is the heat must be from the 68000 below and be some sort of ventilation problem? |

Well it does not work with Whdload
and so he is sending a replacement So perhaps that is another symptom of it being faulty ? |
