I finally did the great and "terrible" thing and drilled little holes in the back,coud have done it better,but i was to much in a hurry(stupid stupid :angry_smile)
an dafterward I think I should have made an Apple form instead of a round one.May be i'll Paint an apple in a dark color to camouflage the holes.
But the good news is that tempereature is now- around 40 degrees celsius. :wink_smile:
Measured directlywitha probe on the cooler.That is only 6 degrees abovethe temperature in the G4!!!!!measured the same way.
:wink_smile:
It would be probable to reduce the heat by putting the thermaltake on 7 volt instead of 5,but that would make probably to much noise.
