If this is a stupid question, please dont get mad. I am getting more and more interested in one of these Iopener's, and I have been reading alot about them here. I happen to have quite a few (150)of these 180mhz "Mx Pro's" that work on a C6 Winchip, and have a small heatsink/fan attached that gets power from the CPU. The fan and heatsink are only about 1/2 inch on top of the CPU. I know you need to buy a special small fan for use with your Iopener, could this be an alternative? I know its kinda slow, but its the same as the orriginal isn't it? It runs great at 200mhz, if anybody from here wants any you can get 'em cheap if you want some...

(this is what I am talking about)

The stock CPU on the slowest I-Openers (V1, V2, V3) was a WinChip C6 200. Later ones (V4, V5) came with a Rise MP-6, which was slightly quicker than the WinChip on the benchmarks at the same 200 MHz clock.

If the CPU upgrade you're refering to is a Winchip C6, there's no additional benefit over the stock I-Opener.

But don't you need to add a fan in place of the stock heat sink?
