dunno if i posted this here or not but has anyone ever done any duo cooling mods? the 280c i have runs HOT.. (cant hardly hold it) i got a suggestion on this board one time to remove the battery (since mine is dead) and that did take care of the heat problem... but it seems to have come back... with a vengance... it seems to run normal speed wise.. and is still stable... so any input on this oddity is appreciated.. __
When I rebuild Duos, I like to take off the apple supplied gap pad (corrugated) and replace it with a full gap pad I get from digikey.com (various thicknesses are available). I tested the operating temps and found the new gap pad seems to decrease the CPU temp a few degrees, although I wont claim my methodology would stand up to a peer review process. : )
If I was real gung ho I would find a thin but rigid copper plate to sandwich in between the frame and CPU, making sure to insulate and spots that might come in contact with the motherboard. THe 2300 has a thin "bat-wing" plate, but it is very thin.
