Igor, thank you so much for your support. This is very sad, I must say. Never ever used it without heatsink.

I made sd card with fresh Armbian install and loaded it before amrbian-config. I got 73C after 10 minutes and 78C after 20 minutes.

In my initial post Chromium probably working during testing. But later I did tests without Chromium running and results is the same. I measured with htop and it goes above 80C every time with small or bigger heatsink without fan. And yes, CPU as hot as I cant hold finger. It happens every time in idle, so I bought a fan.

Already tested without fan. With only bigger heatsink temperature grows to 80 and up in idle. Chromium using it even is not running?

The maximum temperature was 53C during the test. But my OPi sounds now like a i7 laptop running heavy game. Also thanks for the explanation about Lima. But how can 3D engine could do something, if it's no present at any process when I'm running htop?

Igor, thank you for the answer. Have to installed bigger heatsink 30x16x20 mm. and 30x30 5v fan. doing stress test right now.

Hello, Wish a good health everyone nowadays! I'm using Orange Pi PC Plus with small aluminium heatsink running Armbian Buster (mainline kernel 5.4.y). SD Card is Samsung EVO Plus 32gb. The CPU governor was set to 480 to 1200, conservative. The system are fresh, just after install. After ~5 minutes of idle uptime temperature comes to 85 and up. Is that heatsink are not good enough? And the second issue I've faced - too quiet sound output from AV-out. The most quiet is Chromium, it is nasty quiet. Sound from local video files in mpv player are bit(2 times) louder both from mp4 and webm, also mp3. Have not tested HDMI(because my display have only DVI). And when I tested it again before posting, Bluetooth A2DP audio stopped working with my phone. The sound from phone over BT was bit louder, than from Chromium, same as in mpv player. Thanks, Paul

The only question now, how to put tvout utility with commands to the auto-boot? (I'm newbie, sry).

So, the solution: For dealing with tvout overscan you need first to set up lower resolution (fb0_width = 0 and fb0_height = 0) in [disp_init] section of a script.bin file. For me it was fb0_width = 680 and fb0_height = 530. After that, you will get smaller picture, but probably on wrong x,y coordinates. To fix that "coordinates" you need to install Allwinner TVout tool. Install instruction: https://projects.nwrk.biz/projects/allwinner-tvout/wiki When you installed TVout tool, just simply run it and follow the instructions. For example, moving picture by x coordinates with following command: tvout -m -x 5 (means +5 pixels to the right), or for example: tvout -m -x -5 (means +5 pixels to the left. And so with Y axis, use n or -n to move up and down. Thanks for the attention, Paul.

Hello everyone, Is there any utility to deal with overscan when using TVout? I'm using Armbian Legacy kernel. There is a tool called Allwinner_TVOUT_manipulator, anyone have used it?

The problem was in the adapter, i tried another one and it's working now with XGA resolution. WXGA doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply, i have little more understanding. Found some info about forcing hdmi on Armbian but i'm very weak with compiling/decompiling boot scripts. Last time i crashed whole system by setting up hdmi things.

Same here with such problem. The board is OrangePi PC+. Armbian_5.38_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop TV is not recognizing video signal from HDMI-VGA adapter connected to OrangePi. Adapter is 100% working with that board. Also this adapter starts up to this TV with my Dell notebook with windows. tried all the modes of h3disp stopped U-boot by pressing space and tried: setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=dvi,hpd=0,edid=0 saveenv restart and then had a small progress at booting TV showed that signal is XGA just for 1 second and nothing more. Just black Found out the troubleshooting guide https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/34512708-troubleshooting-a-raspberry-pi-hdmi-vga-adapter I dont want to even try Raspbian, How can i try this steps on Armbian?

Hello Everyone! Need your help to difficult task. I'm a newbie to micro-computers. Recently installed Armbian on Orange Pi PC Plus (H3), but can't connect to a TVusing HDMI-VGA adapter. Get just black screen, but once got a pink image (as in attachment). That HDMI-VGA adapter works well with notebook and shows picture on this TV. However, this adapter works well with Orange Pi and my Iiyama computer monitor in VGA mode. So, i completely dont understand why Orange Pi not working especially with my Sharp TV. Native resolution of TV is WXGA (1360x768). I tried many resolutions and got black screens, but in XGA (1024x768) resolution i got pink screen (see image). Thanks for your help! UPD: Solution was in changing the hdmi-vga adapter to another. Works only in XGA resolution now.
