Received my SBC today, installed armbian and run quick tests
Runs very hot (in stock yellow case). Throttles under load and can not run at full 1500Mhz
Below results on armbian measured with armbianmonitor -m
power measured from the wall
71C / 2.5W / 600Mhz idle
85C / 3.7W / 1000Mhz under load (stress -c 4)
I also tested without case and results are better but still it throttles under full load. Ambient temperature was about 25C
Is this just me and my un
Hello all,
Just want to add my experience to this interesting post. First I've did a lot of holes in the yellow case as @ahtoh did, same behavior, then I've got a heatsink with fan, with this the temp in a idle status drops to ~40º just after boot, the temperature on the room is 22ºC-24ºC:
