    DM800 Heatsink

    My DM800 does not have a heatsink on the broadcom chip. Can anyone recommend a decent heatsink for the DM800 what do they use on the sim2 clones?

    Cheers

      Yeah going to get one of those but I worried about about the processor and tuner, they are get really hot which causes glitching then tune failed. So was hoping heatsink + internal fan will also help.

        how did you manage to get a dm800 without a heatsink, they run very hot dont think it will last long without a heatsink, get a usb laptop cooler should do the trick only few ??

            This is an old clone which is replica of an original box ie no heatsink. I've had a look a few pictures but not sure what to get.

                    Hi! I modded my clone so, that I removed the noisy fan and replaced it with 4x10cm aluminium plate. It is warm, but not hot...
