Default ACA 630/25 Stealth Accelerator HOT HOT HOT!!!
So I finally got my new keyboard for the 600 and can finally play with it. The thing is that the ACA 630/25 Stealth Accelerator gets super hot, so hot I can't not touch it for more than a second before it burns my hand. YES I could prolly bake some marijuana brownies on this thing with no problems!

I also have an Indivision ECS installed now, and I had to force it into place next to the Accelerator because they were so close together, thus the Indivision gets a little hot too but not too hot.

Anyhow, my system seems to run fine, but after 30 minutes or so it starts to crash and give up a full yellow screen and this and that. I can cold or warm boot only to a black screen. If I shut the system down for about 30 minutes, I can use it again...

...until it gets to hot.

Not a happy camper.

I hate to be the first one to say it, but any signs of cap leakage on the motherboard?

Maybe open a ticket with AmigaKit and ask if it is normal?

You did not remove the and re-attach the heatsink once you got it?

I have the same setup and although mine gets pretty warm its not too hot to touch and I have used it for over an hour in one session with no crashing.

Best to open a support ticket with Amigakit as suggested.

Well I found a way to E-mail them. Where do I go on their page to make a "ticket"?

Also, how do I recognize cap leakage?
