My S912's running Armbian_5.75_Aml-s912_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.20.5_desktop_20190211 1. T95Z Plus 2. TX9 Pro 3. BM8 Pro and yeah, smooth desktop

sudo stress --cpu 8 --timeout 3600 Lets go look for a bigger/copper heatsink and an open case - trying hard to avoid active cooling :-) I've hit peaks of 100 degrees and it still keeps on going. I guess I've shortened the life quite a bit. From spec sheet max operating temp is 125 degrees!

With the board totally out of the casing, a more reasobable Cpu Temp at full load. Let's mod the casing with more air-holes and see what happens

Is it safe without any cooling mods or do I need to install a fan?

Armbian_5.74_Rk3328-tv_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.154_desktop_20190208 rk3328-mx10-fast.dtb The Cpu Temp can't be right, can it? BTW what's the difference between mx10, mx10-fast & mx10-low dtbs?

I got mine running by following this

Intalled https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/5.75/S912 Going great so far, eth & sound, no wlan, usb drive somewhat unreliable Got nodejs nightmare running as well

Not quite, no sound with that one :-(

After an update, X segfaults after a while running 5.73 Seems that its a tv fault. Switching to a different TV cured it. Still with weird screen blanking, using meson-gxbb-p201.dtb from 5.60 is better

5.73 does this as well. 5.60 is ok

Armbian_5.74_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.20.5_desktop_20190304.img on S11 meson-gxbb-p201.dtb hdmi screen turns black after a few minutes running, box still accesible via ssh. Possible to get screen back on but not sure on exact sequence (turn display off-on, disconnect-connect hdmi cable etc). armbianmonitor gives some weird temperature figure Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU 01:17:26: 1752MHz 0.77 18% 3% 14% 0% 0% 0% 4294967295.0°C

I'm sorry but I do not understand

Is there a reason why preload is not installed and activated in our images? All the tweaking guides recommend it.

Ok thanks for the feedback. I think I'll give the rk3328 path a rest now and just use the s912 boxes I have, their performance with 5.72 is very usable.

Any improvement on the responsiveness of the desktop?
