Amiga A1200 040 Heatpipe cooling

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.

Very Nice :thumbsup:

Nice mod! Might give this a try myself on my Apollo 68060@80Mhz

Is the thermal tape specialist stuff or is it like the metal foil ducting tape used in the heating industry?

If it's specialist, where do you get it from? :)

Nice idea..

Thanks guys, I used KA150-2AC adhesive foil, its pretty impressive and it sets quite well too.

Its not ducting foil, its stuff used for holding chipset coolers etc.

Excellently done. Now run the Startruck demo (or Relic) to see if the machine will be still stable.

Very nice!

I have a few old laptops (P1/2/3) around the house, maybe its time to open them up & see if something can be useful!
