  • rainbow runner too hot

    hi, my matrox capture get very very hot when I turn on my PC (either I am capturing or not capturing). The card is about 14 degree C higher than outside the case. When it is over 44 degree C, PC will hang up. My config is celeron 300A o/c to 450, P2B-F (asus), 256 simiems ram PC-100, Millenium G200. Could any one help me to reduce the heat.

    Put a heatsink (pentium, no fan or with fan) on the large chip behind the TV tuner... that is the one that gets hot... thats all you can do. Using heatsink compound should keep the heatsink stuck to the chip without it falling off... you can also use a zip tie or elastic band for extra security.

      Careful with elastic bands though - they give up after a while....
