James,
I have three fans goin in my system right now. A three inch blowing on the
boards (positioned, incidentally, and fortunately, in line with the PAR), the
fan on the Pentium chip, and a four inch on the power supply. All of the chips
on the PAR are fine heat-wise except for the "DCT Processor" chip, which is
scalding. My Micropolis, after 13 hours or so of being on, is also running
pretty hot. Need to get a fan on that ASAP. BTW, the fan on the boards doesn't
seem to be all that powerful–your typical 3" DC radio shack variety. The name
of the company that makes it is called "Oriental Computer," believe it or not.
Any suggestions for hooking up a 4" 120VAC?
Power supply is fine. Tower case so there's lots of room to breathe. Not sure
why things are so hot.
Sorry so long in reply.
Alan
