 Heatsink from Compulab Does anybody tried heat sink Compulab advertised here http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc2/accessories/? It states it fits to fit-pc2i, probably it should fit to regular fit-pc also? What is temperature before installing heat sink and after? Thanks.

Re: Heatsink from Compulab We did test it  Touch temperature is down 5-7C in normal conditions. It greatly depends on natural airflow. CPU temperature is down 3-4C. The heat sink is not needed for normal operation. It is useful in extreme conditions like mounting outdoors or in electrical cabinets.

Re: Heatsink from Compulab Any idea when the heat sink will be available in the U.S.? The two U.S. suppliers don't seem to have a page for it yet.

Re: Heatsink from Compulab Looking at the measurements of this cooling device it will fit on both fit-PC2 and fit-PC2i which bth use the same case as far as I can see. But why is the temperature reduced by only 5-7 degrees? I mean temperature is about 50-55 degrees in normal usage state as I read in a French web forum, so 5-7 degrees less is not much. For such a big cooler in comparison to the computer case size I think this is quite few related to its price. Maybe the heatsink should be even bigger to enclose the fit-PC2.

Re: Heatsink from Compulab I have a piece of aluminium just slightly bigger than the fit-PC2 and about 1cm thick I found in my tool cabinet just lying on top of the computer and it reduces the temperature by about 10 degrees.
Cheers,

Re: Heatsink from Compulab Can you place a picture of this alumimium bar? Is it from a CPU cooler or not related to computing?

Re: Heatsink from Compulab It is just a block of aluminium I found on my boat. It is not even totally flat, i.e. it is not touching the computer with a perfect surface and I don't have any heat goo between.
Just ran a test now.
With a load (playing a Video using Windows Media Player) and the CPU running at 35-45%.
Without heatsink - 49 to 50 degrees celcius
With heatsink - 40 to 41 degrees celcius
Pretty good I think.
Cheers,
Per

Re: Heatsink from Compulab Maybe I should place the fit-PC between the cooling fins of my heating. As the heating never runs, there is plenty of space and cold metal to transport high temperature.

Re: Heatsink from Compulab ::: Dumb posting ALERT (Now with Pictures) :::When not use a CPU Cooler w/ a Fan or "Laptop" cooler to cool the fit-pc2 .. Your other PC will be jealous.
