Title: PPU heatsink
Post by: Purity on April 11, 2013, 09:30:20 am
Hi,

I've got an  "RP2CO3B 9C4 22" rom from a PC10 motherboard which I believe I can use as a PPU on a Vs PCB for certain games, but I don't have a heatsink for it?

Does anyone have a spare heatsink maybe from a dead PPU that I could buy?

Cheers

As long as you dont run the game 24/7 you dont need the heatsink. Its nice to have but not necessary. I have a few without them, bought that way, and have never had a problem

Agreed, you don't need it. Don't worry about it. I have a few PCBs missing that, no big deal!
