File Name: encore_st_duet_no_heatsink_qsg.pdf Document Version: SG4D-QS-E-081301 File Size: 2.6 MB Installation instructions for installing the Encore/ST G4 Duet (with no heatsink) Processor Upgrade Card into a supported Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) computer.
When installed correctly, the Encore/ST G4 card reusing the Apple heat sink is just as reliable as the more recent Encore/ST G4 card with a pre-attached Sonnet heat sink. Sonnet chose to pre-attach a heat sink to Encore/ST G4 upgrades (except for those with a part number that starts with SG4-C) because we determined that some users did not properly attach the Apple heat sink and clips, and we wanted to make the installation process easier.
