H96 PRO Plus - and other cool hardware mods

How did you managed to keep the heatsink in place and not falling to the sides...

silicone cgu paste and some Hotglue you do feel the heat in the top center running with a high temp of 32C now

I used double side tape on the usb connectors and a foam pad on the oposite side of the cpu to press the heat sink on it.

I couldn't fit any heatsink i have...not even an atom heatsink...

If you want to stick a Heatsink this is the good stuff cost a few bucks and worth it.

Looks tiny and tall...
i think i can find better. From my measurements, we can fit 30x30mm heatsink with 0.7cm height

[trebor]

More towards the glue not the heat sink ;-)

All you need is one of the heatsinks shown in post

Few holes around the side of the box to allow circulation and some large rubber feet to get it up a little higher (5mm) job done easy.

What are the dimensions of your heatsink

[trebor]

They're not mine but they look 20 x 20 x 5...
Whatever fits should work,
or sit atop a laptop cooler

No i ment the other project...

What is the dimension of the fat and the thin blocks.

What is the dimension of the fat and the thin blocks.

stacking them works I have the origanal heat sink sandwiched in between them then old scrap heatsink on top

This is the mod i want... What are the dimensions of the fat and the thin one?

the large one is 3" x 2" 1 1/2 tall with a copper core forget what it was from some old scrap computer

its Overkill average temp is 33 to 34C I never go over 35C

I fitted an Odroid C1 heatsink to my H96 Pro+ with 3M 8815 Thermal tape
Its the new type H96 Pro+ top cover so it had a lip inside around 4mm that i had to shave off with a blade
Its actually touching the top of the case when closed up so its as tall as you could go for stealth

Its around 4 times the mass of the default silver heatsink that it came with

Cool.
dimensions?

40x40mm?
I think that if it 40mm it will touch more components than needed...not cpu only.


Anyways, what is the temperature?

im not sure of its dimensions and its sealed back up now but around 40x40x12 maybe or 40x40x10 not sure

temp its far better but hard to say for sure as i didnt do any directly comparable tests
it certainly doesnt ramp up in temp in an instant now as it can absorb far more heat than the stock sink

before with the default silver heatsink doing a full fresh smb kodi media scan on 70 TB of tv shows
it would go pretty much straight to 80 after maybe 30 seconds of scanning it stays under 65 doing that now
its around 49-50 playing a 1080p web-dl

with regards to touching other components its a case of checking before fitting it what not to touch e.g. whats higher than the soc
it wasnt hard and if you want stealth its just about the largest practical heatsink you can fit inside

so on the face of it 15 degrees cooler under load but its actually more than that if you think about it
doing an smb media scan it would hit 80 very fast (80 is when it gets thermal throttled hard )
so its staying at 80 whilst being throttled but now its under 65 not being throttled

setcpu stress test only loads 4 cores but that would take it to 80 promptly
setcpu stress test on 4 cores its in the 60's now
pressing home then loading another instant of stress test (bug on setcpu you can use on it to load all 8 cores)
its around 75
then firing up a kodi video so the gpu is used takes it to 80
but we are talking 100% cpu load here and gpu load

i have just ssh'd into it
its been sitting idle in libreelec all night and its temp is 46 thats idleing at min 1000
