Heatsink modding

[tommix]

That´s very possible. I was in contact with pipo support, because I had freeces. I wrote them what I did to solve the problem. Maybe they improve the box.
But those with the early box can improve easily.

china never improves anything, all they do is poluting the world to make new crap every month to make americans and rest of the "technology freaks" happy.
EVERY time the story si the same- BIG promo how stuff is super duper great..people presales it, then tey neve rget stock... waiting months...after months waiting people getting full of bugs products, which manufacturer always says - we will fix it...and never does..

I stress single core and win shows 2.09 Ghz and stress 4 core, cpu clock is 1.55 Ghz. Now I understand. Thanks

Here are some useful pictures for disassembling http://www.minimachines.net/a-la-une...low-cost-25383

Me, too.

I add a old CPU fan notebook and heatsink like Scoop-Doo. I test stress 100% CPU by Prime95 and temp : 45C, core: 51C after 30 minutes. Before modding temp: 60C, core: 80C after 10 minutes CPU stress

How did you get the fan to power on (looks like you soldered @ 2 diff places? Im interested in doing something similiar

that's very good , i am still not received main yet
can you check if the below Fan with heat sink will fit inside on the Chips cover
the dimensions is Dimension: ~5.5(L) x 5.5(W) x 1.2(H)cm and the price is 4.75$

Looks like a nice heatsink but how do you plan on securing it to the board? Deosnt look like there are mounting holes like a regular mobo

I soldered Gnd Fan(Black) to GND mainboard and Vcc Fan (Red) to USB Vcc +5V. If Fan is very noise , you should solder a diode, Vcc Usb -> diode -> Vcc Fan. I will update pic later

Yes, I have it but It does not fit with box, I mean It's taller than box. Sorry my English

taller in length and width you mean maybe , but the height is 12 mm les than the heatsink that you fix it

Do you think these heatsinks would work? The price is nice and I like that they are self-adhesive.

behind the power jack on the board is that a spot for a fan header I see or what?

An other cheap tuning

Hi guys,

in my setup the case functions as alu cooler. To support that I bought the following cheap double port usb cooler:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00NSJT23Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

The results are very good. The base temperature is lowered. After stress the cpu goes rapidly back to low temperatures.

See the pics.

These heatsinks are 15mm tall. Do they fit when reassembling the PCB? What is the maximum available height for heatsinks? Would that be possible to place 20mm tall heatsinks?

It would also be better if you left some space between these heatsinks. Guessing from the pictures provided, you could even place 10 of them, since there is enough space available.

Do you think these heatsinks would work? The price is nice and I like that they are self-adhesive.

http://www.amazon.com/XBRdepot-Self-...=15mm+heatsink

These heatsinks are just 9mm tall. You should probably find 15mm tall ones.

These heatsinks are made from copper, but they are only 5mm tall. They are obviously worse than all other options recommended.

I'm curious, has anyone tested the temps without modding? What kind of temps does this get without modding?

Edit: Nvm, I found it.
