How Hot Is The ICs Convergence Card Heatsink Suppose To Get???	Can't Post

I replaced my IC convergence chips with new ones (the exact model number STK392-110) The only thing different was the BL10 in the top right. Does that number matter?

Now after about 15 minutes of watching tv, the heat sinks are so hot you cant even keep your hand on them. Is this normal???

Yes they run very hot, this would be normal. You need to check all the resistors around the ic's with a ohm meter some of these will burn out when the ic's go bad and this will cause the new ic's to fail too quickly. But if your picture looks good with the new ic's in place you should be ok. Did you use any heat sink compound on the ic's before you installed them?

thanks for the reply, the picture looks better then ever.

I did use a good bit of compound before installing
