ISO oddball cooler (or repair thereto)

Oct 14, 2009 4 Replies

Hi,



I've got a SunPCi II (coprocessor board) that has a noisey cooler. So far, I've not been able to find a direct replacement -- nor anything else that comes close to the same form factor, etc.



This auction has an illustration of the cooler:

Any suggestions as to how I could repair/replace/emulate this and still fit in the space available (i.e., not interfere with the adjacent cards)?



Thanks!

The noisy part is most likely the fan. If you can remove the existing cooler without damage, you can probably find an equivalent fan in surplus. Try these dealers:

Yeah, that seems pretty obvious! ;-)

No joy in any of those places.

If you examine the photo, it is not a conventional fan nor cooler. Even the CPU socket to which it mounts is non-standard (else I could have just found a cooler designed for *that* particular type of socket!)

Why not post this on the Sun Rescue mailing list?

No luck, there. (I could replace the board but I would rather

*fix* it). Apparently, no one knows of a source for the coolers themselves.
