Hi Do you have Heating problem?
it seems quite warm during playing HD videos.

I have a 3" fan running 5v from the usb port on top of the device. W/O fan it reaches 70c at 1080p playback, but with the fan on at all times when the device is on it's around 60c at 1080p playback. its around 47c just web browsing.

Is Your fan rotating always?

I creating a process to use an arduino to control the fan to turn off when the pc is off, right now i just unplug it when the device is off.

copper heatsink

I put a radiator from old videocard. The height of radiator must be maximum 9.5mm. The temperature dropped by only 5 degrees.

[Methanoid]

What ventilation is there though? Drill some holes in case.. 5C is not a bad drop.

nice mod . but copper heatsink is better than aluminum when it comes to cooling. btw did you put thermal pad under the board?

I made holes. 10 degrees are dropped.

Not very pretty but a great result.

Also interested what the temps were, how you got to them (prime?), what you used to measure them and how you attached the heatsink?
