It's identical in both enclosure and PCB to the Cloudnetgo CR12. I already have one of these on the way, I will be posting a review and breakdown of the box performance once it arrives.

Can't wait to see a real good review of one of these. CR11s was a better one I had heard, hope this would be much better.

Most of the device over heat, why no body is doing something about it

Geekbuying, Tronsmart, Beelink, Minix and all Android TV box manufacturers you need to listen to your customers and understand your product. The heat issues are bordering on plain stupidity with many very unhappy customers. Some users claim they do not want a fan on their device, perhaps they only stream media. You will either need to make two devices one for silent operation and one for everyone else or make one single device that can handle all uses.

The silent streaming box needs many vents on the box for air intake and exhaust keeping good airflow in mind. A large, quality heatsink with a good attachment for a quality heatsink with thermal paste. Testing with all cores at max speed needs done in hot room to make sure there is no issue, a high max cpu speed is not needed and may need to be lowered to prevent overheating.

An Android TV box for everyone or everyone else who is going to use the cpu at full speed max needs proper vents, a good attachment with a quality temperature controlled fan and heatsink with thermal paste. Again, test in a hot room with all cores at 100% to ensure there is no throttling and cpu stays cool. A gamer for example may have all cpu, gpu cores and memory system at max speed for a few hours at a time.

This is not rocket science, the Intel NUC has intake vents and uses a temperature controlled laptop fan and heatsink combo to take heat out of the box that works like a champ when it is tested before release to insure proper cooling.

I happen to agree with Intel, make one device that can handle it all with a low noise temperature controlled fan. Streaming media with hardware decoding should not turn on the fan keeping it quite for watching or listening to media.

The cooling issue all depends upon the specific hardware which is why testing needs done to ensure the steps taken to keep the device from overheating are effective.

I owned a Cloudnetgo CR11S and it's the best. They had released many firmware to upgrade their devices to perfection. The latest firmware is super smooth and I'm very happy with the product. The only cons is the price...On this site we have Tech1 who is an excellent developer who makes the box even 100 time better. It's a FULL features multi media box with 1080p kernel (none OC and OC). I probably give the HPH a shot, seems like a good device, but I don't know about how often they upgrade their firmware and this is the most important part about buying a device.

[zeevg]

CR11S is 3188, any recommendations on one of their 3288 ? There is more than one.....

[zeevg]

Eric when is the Tronsmart be up for sale ? Alibaba already shows them, two models, 2gb ram and 4gb ram
