Molom Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm looking to buy 8 to 10 low profile heatsinks, such as the Fischer Electronik ICK 28 B, which would be suitable for the SID chips within an MB-6582. The only places I've been able to find them are Retroleum (which sells 24 pin versions) and German sites (Bürklin / Reichelt) where the quoted shipping cost of ~€42 to send to New Zealand seems a bit excessive. Does anyone have a few spares they could sell with reasonable shipping prices to NZ? Cheers, - Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunks Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 You can buy this not so expensive thing http://www.ebay.com/itm/182178120435?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT And split it into 4 peaces, if you have a dremel tool or something.

Molom Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 That is a good option and I have a dremel. If I hadn't placed an order with Retroleum last night I would have gone with that. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antix Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hi if the heathsink that you have ordered are not self adhesive I would suggest to you akasa thermal tape http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&type=Accessories&type_sub=Thermal%20Interface&model=AK-TT12-80 I used it and is very good and reliable and... not expensive greetings Antonio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunks Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I used Arctic Silver Adhesive previously. It worked fine, but it is very strong glue, so once glued, heatsinks will be coupled with SIDs forever. I think it's a disadvantage, if one day you wish to sell your SIDs (at least a pictures of them could be taken before gluing). Using semi-permanent akasa tape seams to be a better idea. Maybe it is not as much thermically conductive, but many people run SIDs without heatsinks at all and do not care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molom Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 What if I were to use a nonadhesive thermal paste? Would the paste still keep the heatsinks sufficiently in place or would they be liable to slide off if I move the unit around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to get adhesive thermal paste just about anywhere, it is worth the investment (or don't install heatsinks at all). Many greets, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molom Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi Peter, Good point, thank you. I will look into the adhesive thermal paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
