cooling

2011-09-19 by Bill Tomlinson

Hi. Wondering if anybody has had success with some kind of internal cooling fan on the Ensoniq line (this case, an SD-1 32-voice)?

My plan - right now only on paper - is to mount an 80mm fan in the bottom of the case under the dick drive, then move the existing heat sink INWARD about 1/2 inch to allow air to be drawn over it and out the fan.

Will post here if it works.

Bill

The heat problem is largely in the power supply on the VFX/SD series.
