I've checked in on the fan listed on the Ashida BOM off and on for a while, and it hasn't been in stock. Because of this, I've started looking at other options for fans and I was hoping to get some guidance. What should I actually look for in a heatsink and fan for a portable Wii?
For the fan: I used "view similar" on Digikey and selected 5VDC, 3 CFM, and Tubeaxial. I assume voltage and CFM are the most important parameters to maintain. Is there any other piece I'm missing?
Regarding the heatsink: Is there a minimum heatsink footprint needed to properly dissipate heat from the trimmed Wii? I'm pretty much just trying to get one that matches the footprint of whatever fan I select.
Final question: I see a copper sheet being placed alongside the heatsinks and fans on portables. Where does that sit in the heat management? Is it necessary? Should it sit between the heatsink and and the fan?
These are the ones I'm looking at getting. I'm not building an Ashida, so I chose one that was a little smaller. The static pressure is lower, but I wasn't sure how much I really need to overcome...
Fan: MF25100V2-1000U-A99 Sunon Fans | Fans, Thermal Management | DigiKey
Heatsink: 625-25ABT4E Wakefield-Vette | Fans, Thermal Management | DigiKey
Links to any guides would be great. I'm kind of looking for some guiding principles so I can understand what these pieces need to accomplish. I'd like to settle on one so I can fit the dimensions of it into a 3D model.
