Quick ACA 630/25 question

CritAnime · 29 November 2011, 16:34

Hi guuuyyyyssss

Ordered my ACA 630/25 yesterday and should be here in the next few days, WOOOOO, but one quick question.

I know these things can run hot but is it OK to have it running without a fan or should I consider installing one. If so what hack can I do to add a fan.

They were designed to run without a fan.

Coolios.

I am so excited to get my hands on this. And the AmigaKit guys are so friendly even when I messed the order up for my PSU I phoned them and they were more than happy to adjust things for me

SO EXCITED.

not felt like this since my first amiga.

You will enjoy it way too much mate. ACA630 is an amazing accelerator that will give such nice boost to your lovely A600.

Cool. I won't be doing any crazy modding to mine. Just keep it bog standard lol.

I think it's much too hot for my taste inside, but it doesn't seem to be so hot it stops working. So it's really just about your preferences. If you think it's too hot you can hotglue one of those tiny 25x25x5mm fans to the grille of the top case half, that's enough to get the heat out. I don't have a fan in mine at the moment (25 MHz).

Where would you connect the fan?

You would need to tag it on to the floppy connector.

I would'nt worry, they are designed to run like that.

Agree with FOL, it's only if you feel you would 'like' a lower temp inside. As FOL hints, you get a normal fan Y-splitter cable for PC power supplies and then plug in the floppy and the fan into that. Every PC store has one and they're cheap.
