I have the crap of CYX_918 v_2.3 and mine powering off itself after XBMC working more than 30 minutes. I put on processor small radiator, make holes on the back bigger on the top . Nothing help. I have UG802 with fullHD firmware and without heatsinks working @ 1200Mhz and all works ok. This device is crap. I think on cold time there will be posibility to warm my hands

Yes, I also had problems with crappy v_2.3 overheating

I put heatsinks on ALL of the chips and drilled large holes in top and bottom of case.
Now it gets warm but not too hot and no more powering off.

Do u guys just leave ur unit on standby allday? I usually just turn on plugs in the morning and off at night...is it bad to be on standby so much?

[MikelThief]

We use power off (GPlay) or reboot (Freaktab) apps

Hi man, what's the size of the radiators? Going to do the same stuff with my box.

I use a Wasser firmware that allows me to power it down completely.

They are not that big so fitted 2 together on the CPU.

Dimensions (of conductive pad area): 13 x 13 x 6 mm ( L x W x H )Dimensions (of fins): 19 x 13 x 6 mm ( L x W x H )

Is there any app to check the cpu/gpu's temeprature ? (RK3188 -> cs918 V2_3 on KK)

Also any idea how to overclock over 1.4 GHz ?

If I remember correctly and not wrong, this works at the rk3188 rom's

I want to power off but I can not install wasser's firmware. Power off and reboot (freaktab apps) don't work, what can I do?

CS918 v1.2
