plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hey My Tinker board is my first dev board and it runs damn hot, I saw this and it says its for the PI, can somebody in the know tell me if It would work on the Tinker Board please. I am running Armbian Ubuntu server temp fan control Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi, Before you start cooling, why not find out where the heat comes from? Does it reduce frequency of the Processor if it is idle? And if not, why not and how to change.. Which image do you use to run the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.27 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.4.64-rockchip The heat is coming from the processor, when I was installing and compiling packages on it the first night it was running 70 degress and when I run a stress test on all cores for 10 mins, I am getting 70 degrees, which may not be bad after watching these videos, where he getting 79 degrees Or this one where she is getting low temps I need a case and this kit looks good if it will work but I am unsure as not done anything ever with GPIO pins etc. case kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Okay, so you were stressing the board more than on a day-to-day basis. And for the exception you want a fan. If you look for the Banana Pi M2+ you can read about heat problems and how some of it can be fixed by sane CPU Frequency control and shutting down cores. This then helps every owner of a Tinker Board well you need to read a bit until the end of: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/971-quick-review-of-banana-pi-m2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 2 hours ago, plasta-blaster said: temp fan control Don't use such hardware. 'Fan only' is a bad idea since a good heatsink is normally as efficient than just a fan. Also the smaller the fan the more annoying. I'm a little bit confused since the heatsink that can be seen in Christopher's video seems to be the same as can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCJThx0OPds#t=2m49s Does the Tinkerboard ship with an applied heatsink or not? If not I would call this the other serious flaw this board suffers from (the first is Micro USB for DC-IN which is just an insane choice on such a powerful board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks I will have a look at the Banana Pi M2+ The heatsink is a stick-on type, but I can keep the heatsink on and use the fan as well, just bought a header extender to clear the tall heat sink, I guess I just need to install the python gpio module and maybe change the code a bit. This kit says it has a heat sink but the Asus one is good just tall hense the header extender and I will have to raise the pillar mounts somehow. kit I have a question about the clock speed, the chip is said to be 1.8GHz but mine is limited to 1.6. $ more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 1608000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 126000 216000 408000 600000 696000 816000 1008000 1200000 1416000 1512000 1608000 Do I have to change some file to get the stated max clock speed and obviously increased temps:-) $ cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: cpufreq-dt CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 2 3 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 1 2 3 maximum transition latency: 115 us. hardware limits: 126 MHz - 1.61 GHz available frequency steps: 126 MHz, 216 MHz, 408 MHz, 600 MHz, 696 MHz, 816 MHz, 1.01 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 1.42 GHz, 1.51 GHz, 1.61 GHz available cpufreq governors: interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance, sched current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 1.61 GHz.

tkaiser Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 For those of you not already having the heatsink applied/mounted/whatever. What about helping in getting a clue how efficient this thing is? You might want to install RPi-Monitor first, that's connecting the board to Ethernet/Internet and then 'sudo armbianmonitor -r'. Then we need cpuminer: 'sudo armbianmonitor -p', then we also need 7-zip: 'sudo apt install p7zip-full'. And then the test looks like this: stress -c 4 -t 60 ; sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run --num-threads=4 ; 7z b ; timeout 120 minerd --benchmark This will take approximately 5 minutes. Please post the output via pastebin.com or other online pasteboard services. RPi-Monitor will monitor execution (for examples see here) and you can check graphs for both cpufreq and temperatures while running this stuff. After shutting down the board and mounting the heatsink the test as above should be repeated. And then new results together with screenshot covering both runs are welcomed.

plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I tried running but the monitor does not pick up the temp reading is there somewhere I can set it to read /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 It was maxing out at 73 degrees C on the temp. Can you help me get it running at max 1.8Ghz, I believe it related to the driver of the proc? I tried changing all sorts of files but it wont budge from 1.6GHZ although I read that there are 2 types of procs and only the C version is 1.8GHZ ouch! OUCH! This test is with the Heat-sink on, I dont have any thermal tape to put it back but I will order some! stress -c 4 -t 60 ; sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run --num-threads=4 ; 7z b ; timeout 120 minerd --benchmark stress: info: [2765] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [2765] successful run completed in 60s sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark Running the test with following options: Number of threads: 4 Doing CPU performance benchmark Threads started!

And if only frequency reduction - wouldn't it be more efficient to kill 1 or 2 cores ? the log from CPUminer https://pastebin.com/zKjZXyGA in idle Spoiler Test just started Spoiler Reducing frequency to cool down Spoiler CPU load overall Spoiler Temperature overall Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thank you all! No further testing needed since RPi-Monitor template seems to lack cpufreq information and cpufreq governor is the wrong one anyway. Since I don't have the board (ASUS UK said they send dev samples weeks ago but obviously didn't) I step back. Sorry for the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I dont understand your reaction. According to CPUfreq it reports on the status page of RPi-Monitor the correct frequency. What is missing is in the graphs the recording. What did you mean by wrong frequency governor, it looks to me that there are several options available?

plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think the max cpu clock is wrong unless we have the no -C version ie not 1.8 Ghz cpu clock. I have order a replacement to see if it is the type-C if not I will be ordering the HiKey960:-) (if it ever comes out with a Linux build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac32 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The op points are in the device tree, it only has op points to 1.608 GHz. I have seen 1.8 working, I didn't add it to the tree because I was not certain they all had the -C like mine and didn't want to cause a major issue. So far I've seen them all be -C's however, anyone want to chime in if they do not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 When I was young - my first Pentium 166MHz I tried to overclocking. It was a waste of time. If you make a RetroGaming, MediaPlayer or anything else with TinkerBoard, you just want longevity. Throw it behind a TV and just happy that it runs without needing your interaction. I have -C as well, but with 1,6GHz in the benchmark it was within seconds above 70° Celsius and started throttling and I have no intention in active cooling. Your setting is absolutely sane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac32 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 It's my opinion the heat sink provided with the tinker board is incredibly inadequate. I'm not happy with the temperature it operates and will be looking at the maximum dimensions I can reasonably use for a passive heatsink. Of course, I also have a ~28mm (salvaged from a machine, never measured it) north bridge heat sink on my NanoPi NEO... Would this be best accomplished with dt overlays or something else?

I just looked a bit through the other thread, could not find what you have in mind for your Tinker Board ? To keep it cool it is also an option to switch off 2 cores when reaching 70°, it depends what kind of software you want to run on it. You might need high frequency but not so many cores. It need to be standing and not lying. @plasta-blaster a moving part is noising and can fail. Always the worst option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a bid on a X-Box 360 which has a huge heat sink which I will utilise as a heat sink:- heatsink And Noctua are very quite I have them in my Desktop and servers, super 6 year guarantee, also lowest Db of any fan I could find, just need to turn 5v into 12v:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Well, I am planing to use it as it is - a small computer. It will easily cope with everything RPi has its problems. RPi-2 with the small cooler can easily run more than an hour with recalbox-os and Nintendo whatever. The Video *ROTFL* , as sweet as the other guy who put his A64 into Oil. WHY FOR GOD SAKE, an ATOM CPU from Intel would in this regard easily do the job. Well, if you just wanna tinker, go for it. Consider Oil cooling have fun, but don't waste your time watching all of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFq1EbWOfYo Edited May 5, 2017 by Tido video link added for a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yer I saw that and Linus with his desktop aquarium build. I hammer the hell out of my machines, I had bought a Pi 3 for WOL for my servers but then wanted it to do more, unfortunately it could not keep up. I have this Rockchip in a little Asus Chromebook running Arch which I love for working in the garden etc so jumped on the Tinkerboard. But my Chromebook has a alu case as a heat-sink.

plasta-blaster Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Wow I removed the sticky tape from the Asus supplied heat-sink and put down some Notchua thermal paste - no difference to using the tape I guess that means it throttling at 73-74 Degress C. Also I have the type -C processor can you add the 1.8Ghz to the tree please. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @plasta-blaster instead watching oil cooling, how about this, then you know how to fix YOUR Device-Tree-Source.

zador.blood.stained Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Unless it is confirmed by vendor that DVFS table can be safely extended for all boards, additional operating points should not be added to the shipped DT. Official Armbian builds are not about providing overclocking with the risk of instability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tido Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) And I can take a discussion without feeling humiliated. You can give it a try too. Edit: Why you felt humiliated while I tried to help you in doing, to me senseless, overclocking is the best part of it.
