Also on a scope the chroma off 6569 seem to be more noisy on the amplitude while 8565 board has it noticeably more clean output where amplitude doesn't fluctuate as much as with 250425 and 6569. > > Did you try different revisions of the 6569? If yes which ones?

That's what I meant by "Yeah..

Didn't make much of a difference with the 6569R5 I tested. Still worked, still ran hot with 10V instead of 12V. So you mean that even if it gets less hot (you didn't measure it thoroughly, did you?) the difference may be not worth it, right? -- SD!
