I have seen a number of A1200/Blizzard PPC configurations. All of them seem to require the removal of the trap door, extra heatsync/fans, and the elevation of the A1200 Desktop case. Are there alternate solutions to this cooling technique? A peltier heatsync maybe?
I have also researched micro-cooling devices on the web with limited success. I found one 13mm (total height) heatsync/fan that seems to be the smallest so far: http://www.1coolpc.com/microcoolers.htm Does anyone have a Blizzard PPC inside of an A1200 Desktop without the ergonomic mods? Thanks again for your help here! P1200 |

peltier requiers fan with heatsink, so I'd say it occupies even more space than standard ones. They are also VERY expensive, and its possible that high temperature variations are sort of a "shock" to CPU (electronics that controls it should be good). If money is no problem, probably best thing would be some sort of water cooling.
Even better, get that "spread heat" cooling system from notebooks, and place fan in a corner where there is enough space. :-) |
