Apple IIgs Fan

Posted by: superjer2000 on 2019-03-03 18:12:23 I have been using my IIgs quite a bit recently and noticed that even with the PSU having been retrofitted with a ReactiveMicro supply, the inside of the IIGS was still getting quite warm.  Most of the heat seemed to be coming from the PSU. I rigged up a fan mount with cardboard and noticed the heat problem was eliminated.  I re-did it with my 3d printer and wanted to share the .STL file in case anyone else is looking for a similar solution.   This mount fits a standard 60mm x 25mm fan and the IIgs PSU with "hooks" for a fan.  This might not work as well as a System Saver GS if you're running a lot of cards - but for me I've only got a Microdrive Turbo and my system is now running really cool.  The fan exhausts the air upwards and although there isn't any grill directly above the fan exhaust, the air finds its way to the grill right over the PSU.
