lanefu Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Whats your favorite little heat sink for the Allwinner SoCs... LibreComputer's doesn't count.
guidol Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I do use some real simple Aluminium-coolers ( https://www.robotistan.com/aluminyum-mini-sogutucu-seti-heat-sink ) The bigger one on the CPU and the small ones on the RAM chips

Tido Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I got a pack of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2031287967.html USD 2.99.- (8 pieces/lot) back in 2017 2
Werner Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I saw those on Amazon recently. https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B077VM8FJW/ref=sr_1_1?currency=USD&ie=UTF8&keywords=Alphacool 17427&language=en_US&qid=1583842491&sr=8-1 What do you think?

Means, unless you want to run at maximum all the time, a cheap heat sink should do the job.

With the idea to have sane settings to throttle the SoC and keep the temperature on a healthy level software wise. 1

Igor Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Who mentioned overkill? I usually use those, and usually oriented properly: 2

So this great board, with the gorgeous heat sink gets back to live :-D 1
Werner Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 They are finally here. Still waiting for the thermal adhesive. 1
Igor Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Mine also arrived last week. They are around 40% bigger than stock for Tinkerboard. 1
m][sko Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 I mount this one on Hikey970 I can only recommend! 3
