Title: IGT S2000 504b MPU vs. 3902 MPU heat
Post by: Yoeddy1 on May 11, 2014, 10:10:13 PM

So is there a reason to keep the small cooling fan that blows onto the 3902 MPU?  A 504b MPU in an S2000 is also enclosed, but does not have a cooling fan.  I don't have a "hot" CRT in my Game King...switched it out a couple of years ago, so the machine is much cooler inside. 

Anybody see any harm killing the MPU fan in an upright i-game/Game King?

Thanks,
Jason

Noise reduction is the reason behind the question.  I haven't run the cab fans in either machine in years and they're fine.

Yeah, I'm just wondering why a 3902 MPU requires a fan and a plain S2000 MPU doesn't require an MPU fan.  Does the 3902 MPU really create a lot of heat by comparison, or was it because there was a lot of heat generated by the CRT monitors that an S2000 wouldn't have, thus not requiring an MPU fan?

Thanks,
Jason

I think even the S2000 could use a fan after looking at the sockets on a legacy board for a 1270 mpu they are slightly warped
