<< Would it be worthwhile to pull the regulator up off the board and put a small heatsink on it, if space permits? >> I have given it some serious thought. I think the one which is overheating is the one which powers the Peltier. I downloaded the specs for the Peltier, and it wants a very stable source. I figure this regulator is powered from +12 volts, and is regulated down to 5 volts, thus there is a LOT of heat rejected into the mobo from this regulator. The board is discolored on BOTH sides, BTW. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
