Running some tests over a few hours with the IIsi case open, I found that the CPU and the two LSI system chips seemed to get steadily warmer, quite hot to touch after about 4 hours. In principle. cooler chips should give better performance and live longer.

I'm thinking about sticking some little generic finny heatsinks on the top if the chips with thermal paste, to help heat dissipation.

Is this a good idea or not? What experience have people had?
