Thank you everyone,
This is what I have done so far, and I haven't drilled extra vent holes on the lids as of yet.
I have flipped the bottom lid (
) around to get more vertical, more/extra heat flowing straight up past the voltage regulatours and hopefully take more heat away from the MDRT, see the pics (sorry about the quality, my phone is crap!)
Also, I have, for the sake of 'nothing else to do!', I've added more/extra heatsinks to the voltage regulators and put heat sink compound on them back and front, there was none used to begin with from the ADA factory. Including changing the mylar insulators, longer insulator washers, and nuts and bolts. (converting from USA imperial to metric is
if your pedantic
)
I dunno yet if I'm finished with this heat issue, 'I like things cool' these days
Looking at where the power cord switch and power switch are located is giving me the idea to build a transformerless circuit that would supply a mini blower fan that could be easily drilled and mounted adjacent where the power cord comes in.
This is dead space to me and as you all know, dead space is prime time property opportunity in electronic enclosures.
Anyways, overheating freaks me out, it could be because I was in the the fire alarm bizz for a while
I'll keep you's all up dated tho', I just don't want to get the Bosch drill out just yet and attack the lids and chassis.
But Thanks folks, its nice to be here with the best of the best and hear from you's
Thanks you's, Rusty !!!
