Re: WARNING - Keep those compressors cool or you may be slimed!!!!

We had problems with ours stalling at 80 Psi or so if it was too overheated, it wouldnt work right until we had given it a half hour or so to cool.

Our solution was that we got a cheap heatsink for a computer and mounted it with zip ties to the top of the compressor (after scraping off the paint and using tons of thermalpaste).
Even without a fan on the heatsink we are yet to have overheating problems
