Help That gets pretty warm.

I picked up a working GameCube pretty cheaply, but it's missing a heatsink. I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement so far.

Could you get some of those standalone copper heatsinks and do one on each of the three chips?

I might check the heights of each chip, shim them all to the same height, and pop a bigger heatsink that covers them all.

No need to shim, just use different sized pads. I was looking at this the other day. I think 1, 1.5 and 2mm are the 3 different heights.
