Got An N64..i Wanna Mod It! :)
« on: October 02, 2004, 06:18:00 PM »

I recently went to my local thrift store and acquired an N64 with 2 controllers and all the connections needed...for 5 bucks. Nice! It's used, but works good.

I want to know what I can do to mod it, or if anyone has a PS1 i'll trade for it.

Thanks. :lol:

I'm gonna try to OC my black N64 anyways. I also plan on working on a more active cooling setup when doing this, since it's nothing more than a big ass heatsink (bigger and nastier than the GameCube's heatsink). It'd be nice to squeeze in a 40mm fan next to the expansion memory pack since that can get fairly hot as well.

Well, I only paid $20 for it, so it'd be no big loss...

My guess is the Black N64s might survive with active cooling of the major components (CPU and GFX chip(s)) since all of them have nothing more than a big f'n heatsink. Maybe a low profile heatsink for a 1U rackmount system will help, plus a small fan and some ducting of sorts to help cool the expansion memory...
