Retro hardware accelerators

Unsure if this the right section but it is hardware related I suppose.

Any chance anyone has a classic 520 accelerator and or something similar?
If so have an odd ball question

Should I bother trying to place a mini small cooling fan onto its cpu?

It comes with a 68EC020, 35mhz, not a bad unit paired with an A1000.

Cheers

I take it no one has ever bothered chucking on a heat sink or cooling fan on a classic 520 then?

You're talking about the modern A1000 / A500 accelerator from Irix Labs? No first hand experience, but I'd think if it needed cooling, Irix would have added something. The 1200 and Mac II's also used 68020's, albeit a little slower, and (from motherboard photos) I don't believe any of the Mac's used cooling either.

Having said that, if you're looking to protect your investment, there's no harm in gluing a small heat sink on top.

I have (in my A600) a modern Furia020 33MHz and it has a heat sink only. There is a version with a fan but mine works OK...and A1000 has more free space than A600. A heat sink will be OK, IMO.
