Adding a cooling fan
Looking for the best cooling solutions for the Webplayer.

I've been doing a little reading on the BBS and other websites, and I've seen a few people mention using a cooling fan. I'm interested in one of the Lasagna Slim CPU Coolers from TennMax, but I'm not sure exactly what model I should be looking for. I know it's got to be one that only uses 5V. Has anyone else used this fan? I'm also interested in any other recommended cooling solutions. Thanks in advance!

I bought the Lasagna fan that was designed for the i-opener. I haven't mounted mine just yet but someone else on this board did. They said you just need to cut the i-opener clips off then fan glue the whole thing onto the cpu. Sounds easy enough. However, I'm not sure where to power it from.

The only thing different about the "i-o model" is the 2mm socket they added to make it easier to tap the serial port 5 volt pins. Cut off the plug and strip the insulaton if you prefer to solder.

Ok I have done this install quite some time ago, the fan from tennmax is the correct one... All you have to do is cut the cord and solder it onto the 5v dc in... it is a very easy setup...
