heatsync install ~~~!

[s0hel]

im gonna go buy a heatsync for my magic 3.5

i'll let you know how it turns out.

(my chip hasnt overheated yet.. but from what i read its going to sooner or later)

i cant install a switch, since no one knows how to do it yet

What I do is just cut a portion of the mush-pad they use for the various chips under the dvd-rom [v4-7 only I think] and stick it between the chip and the metal plate...and I never have problems. Some systems might be more problematic, esp since they definately use more than one PSU board (diff temps).

I'm guessing all a magic really needs is a small aluminum plate bonded to the SMD chip's top and air flow past it.


edit: u could try this HSF - http://www.overclockers.com/articles454/

Thats what my XP needs.
