Won't clear the keyboard, at least not on a TF1260.

Has anyone tried using copper tape to connect between the '060 and the base of the keyboard? Use the keyboard itself as a giant heatsink?
Alternatively, if copper tape isn't thermally conductive enough, how about some heatpipes? They're available from AliExpress for not many $$$.

Chesh

There is proper carbon thermal sheet, I think Samsung make it. Its 4x more conductive than copper.

It does fit perfectly, but not in an A1200 desktop case.

The underside of keyboard would foul on the heatsink. It is, as they say, a bit tight. :)

Sure, you need to modify it in a tight spot. I have used a file to angle one down (like the pictures of the Warp 1260 show), then sprayed it again with some stove matt black. Making a jig to hold it securely and then to apply a belt sander would make a nicer, flatter job. Obviously this is before you attach it :D

I made some slip-on keyboard risers (sorry pics are from A500 version). You can't raise the A1200 keyboard much before the case won't close.
It just changes the angle slightly to gain a bit more clearance to the CPU.
I think I need to ZIP the .STL as it won't let me attach it.


@Cheshire Noir this was discussed some time ago, with one idea being a soft conductive foam pad. To use keyboard plate as heat sink.

Feeling how cool a Rev 6 runs I have just heatsinked the CPLDs and a fan seems to work well moving the hot air away from where it is being generated (right to left).
I did not bother running my AMIGA a few weeks or so ago when we had that high 20oC heat.

Yes zip. Also we have a STL section here https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=62

Yep, I totally get it and agree.

Spotted one on eBay for the first time this morning:

The daft bit is we know exactly who this is just by looking at the card :)
