I think that will help with cooling a tiny bit, but not much...

It's not like the N64 gets that hot. I've heard of people running them for hours with no heatsinks at all. On the other hand, I've heard people needing quite a bit of heatsinking. I wonder if it's revision related, just random, or because of testing methodology.

I think the people that heatsink the Heck out of it *coughbacteriacough* spread it to noobs that you need a lot of heatsinks, so they tell other people that. Then, when they're not noobs anymore, they swear by it and people believe them, thus spreading the lies.

It depends how close your heatsink is to all your hot glue. If the portable is very enclosed and there's no ventilation it's going to heat up on the inside and melt off any heatsinks using hotglue to hold them down.

This is why you must superglue everything down in a small portable, especially heatsinks.

I was going to use epoxy or adhesive thermal paste. Is superglue strong enough?

Ordered screen. Decided to get one off eBay because I've heard horrible things about DX. I'll get the other things I was going to buy elsewhere as well. I think there's a dollar store here that sells 3D glasses, I'll buy the Shinobii opening kit, and do without thermal adhesive.

A word of warning- If you got the #2 with the brightness contrast and saturation controls, be careful because on a few of them the backlight will not turn on.

The ones without the controls work flawlessly though.
