Care to elaborate on that a bit? Does the aluminum pad directly contact the G3 chip or do you keep the rubber heat sink on the chip?
Since my recent board swap my poor 2400 is frying. Have had several heat related shutdowns simply from having it on all day as well as when running VPC 3. Gauge Pro show 203 F as I type this and I haven't been up that long. . .
Planning on opening the 2400 up and making sure I have a good contact from chip to heatsink which I suspect is the problem. I had prior luck with using an aluminum foil shim and will probably try that again.
