I quite liked the 12v 50mm blower but it was a little too loud for me without using an in-line resistor, and then it was fairly quiet but didn’t quite push enough air around.

As Aberbach says, getting fresh air in and through to the hot bits it the trick. Ducting would be the answer, or the way CS-labs have gone by having the fan drawing air in via the top case slots.

At the mo this config is fine for 80mhz :)

The CS Labs guys have access to industrial strength milling machines. I've never found temp make any diff to the performance or stability of the machine though.. i.e. if its happy at 80 its happy there .. if its not then even freeze spray doesnt help.

True words! :) I think it’s the general build up in heat from all the components that I like to try and keep on top of - from the cpu, the cplds on the board, the heat from the 1200’s customs chips and the indivision etc.

The cplds on the TF do seem to get rather hot without heatsink/fan but for all I know that might be well within spec! I just like to try to keep it all cool and happy :D

Those CPLDs are balls to the wall at the limit of what they can do.

Got my beauty and have had a chance to test it. First impressions are that it runs a lot cooler than my TF360, I don't think I need a fan with a rev5 or rev6. I didn't get much overclocking joy but perhaps I need to try another CPU / PSU as OC stuff always seems to be quite picky.

Was led to believe that these were exclusive pieces of hardware. Only available to cornerstones of the Amiga community. The pillars of the scene. Fluffybunnies like me are getting them now, so strongly recommend that distribution be tightened up.

(Its gorgeous, had to wait for my 68060LC to arrive, after the Rev5 I thought I was getting fell through. Thanks a million Stephen for allowing some of these into the wild, Alen for posting it down to me, and Supa for reaching out in the first place. Need to put the A1200 back together now and just ignore the brown hue!)

Now that Amigas are getting some use with LC060s, how has the compatibility turned out? Is it just demos that have issues as seemed to be predicted?

I only use mine for playing the classic old games using whdload and if set up correctly there's no issues at all.

Very pleased with mine
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Whatever runs on 030 will run on LC060. The 060 demos won’t run but they would if they had been compiled with the -nofpu option, it’s possible and no reason why it can’t be done.
