Heatsink

I've started to cut some holes in my case and when I put a button in to test my clearence I found that it was a few milimeters to tall. It hits the top of the heatsink. Now the heatsink on the SNES keeps the RF from getting interfeared with but what I want to know is are there any disadvantages to removeing the heatsink on the PSOne or dose it really matter at all? Thanks in advance.

I doubt it matters to much. might get a little hot, but you can only play it for an hour or two with a battery pack, so it shouldnt be a problem.

trim the top of the heatsink to make it fit. if it gets to hot, just add a fan

. or you gould get one of those broad thin heatsinks from a 486 CPU an add a fan. that's probably what i'm doing for my n64p. playstaton is only about 33mhz so it shouldn't get too hot

True, but who will play for more than like 2 hours continuously? I mean most games would get boring
