Hi Matt, > I notice you have a 200mhz cpu in your 'fashion wearable', do you > have any problems with heat? This whole module does get pretty warm, but not to the point of causing reboots. The PCM-5822 is shipped with a hefty heat sink that covers the entire top of the board, nice for both heat dissipation and protection for the board. I have intentionally left air space near the big heat sink over the CPU, and there is also a space under the connectors on the side for heat to escape from the bottom of the board. Everything does run hot, the board, pcmcia cards, microdrive, and especially the regulator. I will be adding a heat sink mated to the regulator to cool that down. > I have a 233mhz intel pentium MMX, and it's getting waaaaay too hot. I used to run small fans on 200 and 233 CardPCs, they are quite small, quiet, and low power. Perhaps something like that could be added to yours (is it fanless?). > Off-list, Philip Tung-Yep has suggested that I get a later stepping > model AMD cpu or a laptop specific socket 7 cpu, and clock them back, > as 233 is the limit on this board.

I think its best to buy SBCs that are designed to be fanless, and avoid socketed CPUs that require fans. I also think that you could add some heat sinks on your board. > What are your thoughts?
