Just a few photos of my Apollo 68040 40Mhz with a heat pipe taken from a dead HP laptop.
The original fan was just way way way too noisy, it had to go.
I have used this adhesive thermal foil in the past and found it had excellent mechanical adhesion, it proved ideal here.
A little bit of support.
It does get warm, which is a good sign.
Hopefully this location will alow the heat to escape a little bit easier.
Also I am going to stick with convection cooling for the moment, see how hot it gets.
