I havent got either box, do they have vent slots above the card reader? If so then maybe a small fan would do the trick.
just wanted to start up a thread on how gamma cards overheating in humaxs and strong 4658/53x. has anyone tried sticking foil on the back of the chip?

Hi xtrail,
There were a few threads on this issue on the old forum. The issue is well known, some members advised using a special glue and some foil or special heat resistant tape.
It seemed to affect some decoders more than others.
cheers
Try heat conductive grease/paste, which is used on IC`s etc in electronics, that may help.
Dont think the foil idea would work, as that would only collect the heat at the rear of the chip and not cool it.
cheers

two of my mates have strong 4658 & 4653 boxes and not one issue at all with those since the start of gamma , or maybe their just lucky??
Thats the impression I was also under Ajax , my mates card looks untouched.
I have seen one from a Humax card slot that looked like it had been in a blast furnace.
My mates Humax only worked for 5 mins,then stopped,reinsert and another 5 mins.He uses now a DiZiPia, the card looks burnt but no problem with the programs.
On one of my old boxes an em-200 the cam and card(silver) would get hot and the set would only recieve FTA. So I had to turn off the set and let it cool down and all would work for while. So I did what some body else said it this thread and put in a fan over the cam, no it didnt look pretty but it worked. So if this helps...
If your box has a heat problem then a strip of copper tape on the card will fix the problem.....if you do use copper tape just make sure you never insert card the wrong way around
I remember someone said to check voltages on card slot? 5 volt rail?
The older the box maybe more problems?
Oh and where would one get copper tape from?
I've found the original cards had that issue and the current ones are fine.
This is my solution. A bit brutal, but it works.
The cutting was done very carefully with a dremel and very fine cutting disc.
a 12 foot fan 5mm from the card would do it as well
Onefella How about a cpu heat sink and fan??
or one of those fans you find on the back of the
dvd players the real small ones
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
