heatsink question.

Post by I FINALLY REGISTERED. »

how do i place the heatsink?
do i just place the heatsink over the chip and use some type of adhesive to keep it there?

does it have to be solder'd to something?

or could i just ditch the heatsink, and put 3 fans in the box.

thermal adhesive. you should search a bit before posting, there are several other topics covering this. just fans with no heatsink probably wouln't work because there wouldn't be enough surface area to dissipate heat for the fans to blow away

How the hell many times do we have to tell you to search?
There are 2 threads on this topic on the first page of the N64 forum!
Oh, and don't forget the hidden "Search" button (YEA, RIGHT).

If you can't take the effort to use the search button, then you're probably better off giving up portablizing all together.
