So as we all know the 6502-derived CPU in the NES and Famicom gets incredibly hot due to Nintendo's changes to the CPU core that give it the "Rad Processing" that lets Nintendo games have their "Edge". As it's important to have a good cooler I'm getting worried about mine. It reaches temperatures upwards of 60 centigrade, and I'm using a Zalman CNPS10X Flex Universal CPU Cooler that I've modified to fit inside the casing (as well as cut away some of the casing and added fans).
Should I switch to a liquid-cooled system? Does anyone have any suggestions as to which system might fit inside the original Famicom casing? I'm not sure how the temperatures get so high as this cooler is a solid cooler and I've been using it for years.
What was Nintendo thinking, making a console so hot?
