iBookdude458 Where's the cache? Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 341	Hey guys I was wondering what is the best heat sink I can put in my Quicksilver G4. I found this one and it seems to loo pretty good any thoughts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114053 and it I upgrade it to the Newertech 2ghz could I use this heat sink on it so what is the best aftermarket heat sink? _________________________ Macbook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHZ Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM Powermac G5 Dual-Core 2.3GHZ 2GB Ram Powermac G4 Quicksilver 733MHZ 1.25GB Ram iPod Video (1st Generation) 60GB

oojacoboo Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 1468	check some of the mod guides. There are some folks that have upgraded the heatsinks, I know I have seen a mod guide or two. _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

ctan Where's the RAM? Registered: 03/24/08 Posts: 65	If you go with the NewerTech CPU upgrade it comes with its own heatsink, so you wouldn't need to worry about a replacement if you go that route. But the other concern I see when looking at this is the the shape of it. I think (though I could be wrong) that the Quicksilver CPU board might not fit into this screw arrangement. The PPC CPU board may be to different to fit on this. What are the dimmensions of the QS CPU board screw posts? Have you overclocked your QS? Is that why you are looking for the extra cooling? How hot is it running usually? _________________________ Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
