Hi Darkman!

11 Sep 2021 14:03, from Darkman Almighty -> All:

 DA> Just wondering if anyone has installed a fan into the C64 bread case..

No, and I absolutely see 0 need for it.
Absolutely pointless from my point of view!

 DA> if so where? I'd think that just a small fan would do the trick.

Even no fan will do the trick.
If you are VERY, VERY anxious you can put a small heatsink on some chips.
That is also not really needed, but if iz makes you feel better then it at least does not make noise ;)

 DA> I know the suggestion is to add heat sinks

Depends on who you ask.
Normally not really needed.
If you have a breadbin it makes slightly more sense ...

 DA> but I thought about taking it one step further to ensure proper air
 DA> flow.

But WHY would you need additional airflow?

 DA> Perhaps wire it to a switch maybe. I think the powersupply should be
 DA> able to handle an extra 5v. Thoughts?

power supply should be able to handle it.

CU, Ricsi
