Yes, if only it were thinnerâ€¦

Too bad N64s require giant heat sinks!

or fans

....actually, the heatsinks don't have to be too big....1x1 inches for each main chip is more than enough, usually

I was thinking of a small liquid cooling system for making a GCp, but it could work for a N64p too, couldn't it? This was the system and it would have this heatsink on each chip (except the one the pump went on). Good, eh? I only wish it were $20 lessâ€¦

yeah that IS kind of expensive :-\.....but it'd definitely work

Yeah a little but it would be cool to have it *daydreams about having it*

I strived to find a system that wasn't huge and that could cover 3 chips without breaking the $100 mark. You gotta admit, $3 for a liquid cooling heatsink is pretty good.

another alternative to keeping it small is use small heatsinks (like the ones on triton's website) and small fan

Yes, but doesn't the fan have to be mounted perpendicularly to the board no matter what?

it can be mounted anywhere it fits as long as there's somewhere for the air to go

Oh, ok. I actually opened up my N64 earlier and found out the heatsink isn't actually that big. it's just a piece of metal with 2 upward bends on the sides, kinda like the heatsink for the 7805 in the NES. This is a relief because it shouldn't need a huge heatsink to stay cool.

yeah

...like I said, you don't need a HUGE heatsink to cool the N64

...in fact, if you could bend it enough, I'm sure the heatsink that comes with the N64 would work
