Chris, When you try to run a 33 MHz chip at 50 MHz…you bet you're going to have heating concerns. Is that GVP's problem or Commodore's? Yes, the A2052 got warm, that wasn't an A2000 problem, that was an A2052 problem. That's why it's no longer for sale…it was poorly designed and generated more heat that it should have. However, it did/does still work and I know of no cases where it caused overheating inside the 2000's case. I run my A2000 with an A2090, an A2088 BB, MS-DOS Hard drive controller, MS-DOS multifunction RAM expansion card, 2 Meg CHIP RAM (via MegaChip from DKB Software) , a 5.25" floppy, a 3.5" floppy and 2 3.5" 20 Meg Hard drives (one for each side). I have ZERO heating problems and have been running this way for quite a long time. BTW, why do you think folks complain about the 2000's fan making too much noise? It makes that much noise because it's moving a lot of air…quite adequate to cool the interior even when all slots are filled. Don
