EDIT: Yep, still running at 86F. It is cool to the touch and has been on for three straight days. I would say the 1200 fix is perfectly safe. It runs everything I have thrown at it flawlessly, and I also watched two 2hr 1080p movies in XBMC Finless Edition (which is a GREAT version BTW, no crashes at all!) and it keeps on chugging away

The max 1992 doesn't matter because it will only be accessible for short times because the cpu "management" at rising temperatures reduce the possible max freq...
But with min > 192 you will reach immediately temperatures that will reduce the max freq, so it is really useless!

Originally posted by Batfink32 View PostYes, I've used the 1200 fix also but the temperature on my box rises at idle to around 65-70deg C using this fix (I think the throttle limit is 65deg c can anyone confirm?) This temperature causes the CPU speed to throttle and reduces the max speed to reduce the temperature. Does the temp on your box not rise quite high?

I was able to keep the CPU temps down on the S89 using a new heat sink and new paste on firmware 1 and using the 1200min,that was super fast so it would be nice to be able to do it on the X8.

wifi not working
I just upgraded my minix x8h to this rom, and clearly followed all the instructions.
I connected to my wifi, and it worked for about 5 minuttes, then it dropped out, and now there's no connection at all. the wifi is working fine on my phone.
I restarted the box, and restarted the router as well, there's still not any connection.
Any fix to this?
Also how to restore to the orginal minix rom? I have to do that if I can't get wifi to work
I also tried to forget the network, and connect again, and then it works for about 1 minute, and then drops the connection again

I have not had a chance to test, but have anyone tried an NTFS formatted hard drive for write support? I know read support is in Android by default, but does this rom contain support for writing to NTFS drives? If not, can it be added? I have a 4TB drive that is formatted NTFS obviously and I require write support for some things. I have been preparing the drive for a few weeks and have yet to bring it to the X8-H, which is why I am asking about compatibility.

With the 800min I can get it to idle at 55deg C now whereas before I was idling at 55degC on stock. I wonder if the hardware has some differences that causes extra heat on some boxes although now I seem to have HDMI problems with lines going across the screen sometimes. I may have to send it back.
Maybe it's the HWG rom? I had no luck with Beta 002 at all. While initially it appeared to run well, strange things would happen like reboots while playing movies in XBMC. I went back to Finless 1.0 and installed the 1296 patch from the device ID patcher zip (not the patch that is included with the rom mind you) and the xbox patch as well as XBMC Finless version. Everything has run perfectly, and the Minix is cool to the touch even when on and watching movies for hours. No reboots either.
I will grab Mooncakes CPU Temp when I get home tonight and check temps, as you are right, I am probably looking at some other sensor. I will let you know exactly what I am getting. I would be surprised if the CPU idle is over 50C.
