TF1230 heatsink
Hi Everyone,
I got a TF1230 yesterday which has solved some issues that I was having with my 1200. However the supplied heatsink means that if I reassemble the case the keyboard is going to be pushing down on the card, which doesn't seem like a good idea at all. Does the 030 need a heatsink? Has anyone used a lower profile heatsink? Thanks! |

I have never put a heatsink on any 030 TF330 boards so I would not worry too much, just remove it

I also have not had any heatsinks on my 030s (not even 50MHz ones), they're still fine after all these years.

I don't put heatsinks on my 1230s either, it's not necessary.

Anyone know what temperature an 030 rises to without a heatsink?

It gets hot but its designed to run like that (i.e. without a heatsink). The fact that so many 1230 blizzards etc are still alive and well after all these years is proof of that. That being said, its never wrong with a little help with heat dissipation. |
