Cooling solution for an N64P?

Post by KrustyKurt »

So I've been working on an n64 project that will be utilizing a ZN-45, maybe a ZN-40 case if i can get the thing to be slim enough.

In any case, I've come to the conclusion that the best way to cool this beast would be with this here fan.

My plan is to put a nice big piece of copper on the chips along with some Arctic Silver and let this bad boy blow the heat out the back, cooling both the N64 and my hands.

My question to you knowledgeable folk is what kind of power draw can i expect from a fan like this? What kind of voltage does a graphics card cooling fan such as this one require? And is there any way to acquire a female connector of the same sort and hook it up to the required power draw?

Many thanks,

Krusty Kurt
