Please note this is only available with the purchase of an replacement chip.We can fit a heatsink to your replacement ICs!
Want to make your replacement chips last longer? A heatsink can ease the stress of many chips that run hot. We use Arctic Alumina thermal paste with a low-profile heatsink.
Chips that we strongly recommend fitting a heatsink to:
MOS 7501 CPU for C16/+4
MOS 8501 CPU for C16/+4
MOS 8360 TED for C16 (+4 already has one)
C64 SID chips
Some machines will already have heatsinks fitted (such as the Commodore +4 on the TED chip), whereas on some machines like the C64, certain revisions of the machine will have heatsinks on a particular chip, and other revisions will not! When you order a heatsink for your chip, please ensure there is enough clearance in your machine for the heatsink, and that there is not already a heatsink present.
