| Sonnet Crecendo G3 Nubus |

It has a nice home in my 6100 now. However, the 6100 is such a heat trap it freezes about after 2 hours due to the heat.
Time for a fan I guess. I have a Pentium 1 Size fan that I could wedge in there.
Oddly, the sonnet does not have a G3/300 sticker on it. It just says Sonnet Tech 1998.

Nevermind it is quite stable now, with all the 7.6 updates.

7.5.x was often unstable, heat or no. Did you end up using the fan?

No, 7.6.1 fixed the issues.

It probably wouldn't hurt to also put the fan in there. 🙂

My Sonnet NuBus G3/240 certainly overheated. I bought it brand new and ended up sending it back for another one because it became such a problem with freezing.
Once I got the new one, I removed the expansion cover on the back and installed a little fan which I ran off of the CD-ROM power connector. It has worked fine since. I highly recommend at least removing the expansion cover if you don't have the AV card.

I understand the later (faster) Sonnet G3s ran quite a bit cooler, ironically
