Cool Dreambox 920

piterfree · Mar 18th 2024

Hi everyone, today I started working on Dream 920 to eliminate the additional fan that I used via USB, adding an aluminum heatsink on top of the existing one and now when it turns on it's 45 degrees, it no longer exceeds 60 degrees, depending on how it is used it varies from 45 to 55 degrees, I glued it with the instant wood bostik which works perfectly.

In your first post there is a different heatsink than the one from the Amazon.

Can you please tell us the exact model from the first post? Thank you!

Hi, I didn't find it on very old 486 computer processors, it's difficult to find it... I've dismantled many computers and I still have some useful things left.

the one that is on the web that you found mounted on a 920 last Sunday for a friend and attached it with hot glue with the hot glue gun... fixed only on one side positioning it half a centimeter from the Lnb and we lowered it by 2 millimeters upper side of the blades that touched the lid and now it is perfect, it does not exceed 45 degrees.
