MiSTer Cooling
Cooling for the MiSTer FPGA is important, the DE-10 Nano’s system on chip integrates a hybrid 800MHz Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and an Intel Cyclone V SE FPGA. The main source of heat is the integrated Dual-core ARM which produces a constant heat regardless of the FPGA use. At the bare minimum the MiSTer FPGA needs a passive cooling solution, this is accomplished by adding a high quality heatsink. However for long term use an active cooling solution paired with a heatsink is highly recommended this is achieved by also adding a 40mm fan.

A minimal cost effective active cooling solution for your MiSTer build, if you do not require an IO Board but still wish to adequately cool the ARM / FPGA chip this is the perfect solution a super quiet fan, mounted on a solid aluminium heatsink. Installation is simple just remove the film from the thermal [...]

If your MiSTer build has no need of an IO board but you still want an active cooling solution, while also providing protection to your build and looking good, then the acrylic fan plate kit is what you need. Included with the MiSTer fan plate kit is a cast acrylic top plate finished in either [...]
The hybrid ARM / FPGA chip can reach very high temperatures when running complex MiSTer cores effecting overall stability resulting in errors or crashes. This is the ultimate MiSTer heatsink, produced from a solid copper bar, the fins are manufactured by accurately peeling each fin from the bar of solid copper, they are an integral [...]
The hybrid ARM + FPGA chip can get very hot when running certain MiSTer cores as such some passive cooling is required. The main heat source in the chip is the integrated dual-core ARM producing a constant heat regardless of the FPGA core use. The more complex MiSTer cores require tight timings and lowering chip [...]
