Yeah, total bonehead mistake on my part. Ah well. So were heatsinks ever made for the full 040? I searched ebay but didn't find anything.

Crap, that's right. I totally forgot that my 6115 CD has a different processor entirely. I was just looking at it the other day too. Guess I'll have an extra processor for sale if anyone is interested.

So you're saying I don't need a full 68040 for my 6115CD?  Also, I guess if the answer is yes to the heatsink, then my next questions is...where do I get one from? 

I plan on upgrading my three Macs (LC575, Performa 575 and 6115CD) to full 68040s. I've seen a few places claim you need to paste and heatsink your processor. Is this correct?

Right, just using them on mainboards to replace old caps before they start leaking. 

Oh, and the caps I'm using have a 20% tolerance. That ok?

It actually wasn't here, but the vintage computer group on facebook. The conversation went a little something like this: Kasey Norman also why did you not put down electrolytic SMT caps?  Like · Reply · 1 · 16 hrs · Edited Moyke Baud The ceramics were recommended. I was told they...

Cool! Thanks for lending an ear. Next up, an LC 575, Performa 575 and a Macintosh Classic. Hope it goes as well.

Tell me what you think! http://youtu.be/es9Q-t9J_LE

Hmmm, sound coming out of the built in PC speaker isn't super loud, but it's pretty clear. Not sure how loud it's supposed to be. It's certainly loud enough when I plug it into my monitor. Would they only affect the built in speaker or all audio?

Thanks! Now how do I go about telling if this worked or not? Just if everything seems to work ok?

Also, some people in another group are telling me that it was a bad choice to use ceramics capacitors as it creates more electrical noise and can lead to an unstable system. Is that true? That goes against what everyone here suggested.

Ok! So I finished my first recap project! My first victim was a 6115CD. A little tricky, but I plugged it in and it seems to be working great! At least it seems to be. My question is, if it failed, how would I know? What should I test for? Thanks!

Good to know, just ordered a larger size. Thanks guys. Not sure what I'm going to do with these tiny caps.

*Sigh* Ok, I didn't know that. What does 10% and 20% and all that mean? Do I need to worry about that?

So my order from mouser came in and I'm somewhat confused. I have to replace 16v 47uf cans and the capacitors I got for that seem correct, but the 6.3v 10uf capacitors I got are...shockingly tiny. I don't get how these could replace a can...I'm not even sure they're long enough to bridge the gap...

Ah, gotchya. Thanks! Doing the reinstall now. 

Did that work for you? Still shows as down for me. Even checking through "is it down" shows that the site is down.

I don't know why, but this link never works for me. :(

Thanks guys! I was actually able to do it on my own by moving the board and monitor at the exact same time very, very carefully. It worked!
