 Re: Air Cooling

Pictures work. Not really what I would be looking for when it comes to heat sinking as TED is exposed.

You see the longest chip with a dab of white paste on the top in the middle that sits in a case, it has a lid on it on an untouched Plus/4, that's the TED.
The chip to the right of this with the gold colour heat sink on the top is the CPU.
Both these chips are prone to failing or can be. I would of expected more effort to of been made on the TED than anything.

The chips under the large silver plate are nothing to worry about as such as they are least likely to fail, more so if you have a number of spare machines. These chips out number TED & CPU's that are still working today. Sometimes they can go, but not that common they do. happy

Up above on the site menu's your see Hardware.
Or click here: Hardware
If you take a look and scroll down a little your see all the chips. Click on each one for info of what they do and the different number types. Your be able to relate better to what your looking at when you have your Plus/4 open.
