Heatsink for a the proc on a 12" PowerBook G4/1.5Ghz in an outside the 'Book application

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2020-07-23 13:49:43 Wondering if the heat spreader interface in the 12" PBG4 lends itself to a desktop heatsink standard? Doubtful, but just may be? If not I can fab a thick copper heat spreader and mount whatever I want to it? Don't think I'd need to go that far as it's a Notebook board/Proc, but how much might be needed? I don't really have quite THAT much room. How much cooling do I really need? Might a large passive heatsink suffice?
