A heatsink performance calculator

davidsrsb · 5th October 2012, 11:24 AM

This site has an on line heatsink calculator, that models natural convection cooling very well
http://frigprim.x10.mx/online/natconv_heatsink.html
It also models the effect of heatsources on the sink and finds the hot spots

I had this program running on my old PC running XP
It seems to be crippled on this PC running win7 64bit.

Do I need to do something to get it to run?

I am using Win-7 64bit. I had to enable the Java plugin in Firefox

How do I find out if the java plug in is missing?
How do I insert it if I need it?

Firefox -add-ons -plugins
I have Java(TM) Platform SE7 U7 10.7.2.10

Thanks! I found this calc a while ago, but the link died (not sure if this is the same address) so I deleted the bookmark, then I started looking for a calculator like this again recently. Thanks for posting.
