Expansion Pack

they are a tad taller, my case had to be destroyed because the expansion pak was a few mm too tall. the case was made to fit the jumper pak. lol, thats how i have current design. Josh.

The jumper pak can be cut down a lot, but the expansion can't.

oh well out of its case it fairly small does it get hot? does it need heatsinking?

YES IT HAS TO HAVE A HEATSINK, i dont really know what itd do w/o one, but i know it gets hot after playing perfect dark for an hour, godly hot, my last n64p had a small fan that blew air over n64 and expansion pack

i have a fan and a huge amount of heatsinks on the n64 could i use 1 heatsink for the expansion pack and the ram?

as long as it touches both of them

so th boottom could touch the expansion and the side could touch the ram

as you can see, the expansion pack might have a harder time cooling of. if you open up an old computer power supply, it will probably have flat heatsinks that might work.

i really dont understand why no one uses the original n64 heatplate, not the large aluminum heat spreader, but the heatplate, with a cut down version of the large heatspreadder, its flatter, keeps it pretty cool, and gets good contact with the cpu, rcp main ram....

i don't know of any cooler other than the big heatsink unless your talking about the metal shield thing. the reason people use different heatsinks is because they're the right size and work well

basically, the heatplate mod turns out about the same size as the n64 board.. no bulky heatsinks produding up from the console taking up valuble space

If when mounted a heatsink isn't taller than the cut down jumper pack when it's in there's no extra size

Because then you just have heat surronding the parts, as well as above, which really sucks. When you have heat sinks, it moves the heat the fins.

ok i have n idea i am going to put the flat side of it on the expansion pack and the fin will have a gap between the ram and then i will have an internal fan cooling the whole thing (especially the rgulators)
