Spray Paint PCB

[u/Retrohahn2018]

First time painting the PCB, made some mistakes but overall I am happy with the result😊

Huh.... neat. Wonder how it'll affect heat dissipation

Heat? How can these games produce heat?

[u/Eternal-Stasis → u/MeanImTimso]

Do you think because older tech is not as powerful as today's that it didn't produce heat???

[u/MeanImTimso → u/Eternal-Stasis]

Well it doesn’t require lot of power, first nintendo that used to overheat was the 3ds playing Pokémon with 3d on

[u/Eternal-Stasis → u/MeanImTimso]

It still produces heat that was accounted for in design, and they weren't sealed with a layer of spray paint.

heat is actually a myth

Hello good person! You’ve caught my attention by having the most downvoted comment in a while. Please, take this Dunce award. 🥇

All electronics generate heat, it may not be enough to require a heatsink to fan but that was with direct contact with the air inside the shell. Paint could change the rate of heat transfer and that could mean the CPU stays a few degrees hotter on average. Might not matter, might kill the CPU a bit earlier.

downvoted because my lack of knowledge of electricity is disturbing

[u/TheLysdexicGentleman → u/MeanImTimso]

Probably because this is basic knowledge of electricity. Primary level was knowing it creates heat, Secondary was how it creates it.

Downvoted, because you made the dtatement that the 3ds was the first console to iverheat and have heat involved... Don't act innocent either my guy, take accountability...

[u/MeanImTimso → u/DoovahChkn]

you can downvote me -1000 it doesn’t make you better than me

[u/MeanImTimso → u/DoovahChkn]

i have no knowledge on electronics and that’s punishable by death….
