To me, foam is an INSULATOR. Completely opposite of conducting heat away.

I think that he is referring to the thermal pad. Yes it is huge and much thicker than typical but still a thermal pad.

i think he means that white paste that is "hard".

I restore superceleron ROM without any extra apps: same temp 60-65 °C at idle
I restore Stock Rom : Idem. 60-65°C at idle

I open the box. Motherboard outside the box. 57°C at idle. It's still pretty hot !

I see the white foam between CPU and heatsink as described by batkinson001. I think that this foam not doing his job correctly.

Yes looks like the foam must have air between the 2... or simple sucks...

[potard]

Damn that is really not normal.... when you 1º installed it was so hot?

i tested this rom, hoping the bluetooth will work with my mouse and keyboard....no luck there, i blame android 6
vnc also not working with l2tp psk....i blame android 6
network connection through ethernet does have better bandwidth, by 20-30%.
this rom feels snappier than stock

but, loosing the navigation bottom menu which i see as a must have, i reverted to stock rom.
something else, i did not manage to make hbo go run on ethernet on this rom, although on stock it did (same xposed framework involved)...i wonder why?

there was a request for ethernet up/down button on this thread; a simple solution is to install quick terminal apk which has an option to use own commands for that, such us ifconfig eth0 up/down

although i did not see an advantage (highs/lows<1 for me) in using this rom it is very nice to have an alternative! thank you superceleron.

32 since amlogic still dint rls a 64bits sdk!

Thanks! That would probably explain why I couldn't get a 64bit version to build!

superceleron Is this rom 64bit or 32bit android?

[superceleron]

But is strange since i dint have any problems with it (heat wise), maybe some batch come with problems?!?

[batkinson001]

yes is the design of the box... it should have more vents etc..... :/

Yes it should, however even running it with no lid on, it still heats up fast. I am thinking it needs a fan on top.

I unable to remove the board to see about removing the grating on the bottom to open up the vents on the bottom a bit better.

[batkinson001]

well no problem with the rom, since its stock with a few tweaks/fixes! even the kernel is the stock one!
Try stock rom and see if it does the same(i bet it will)

It's the design of the box I think. If you open it up, mine has a white spongy block between the heatsink and a metal plate on the top of the case... There is nothing for the wifi chip.

I have found that the box heats up fast while streaming anything be it in kodi, the browser, or any other a app. It takes longer to heat up if all you are doing is watching something local off a hard drive or something.

mines idol at 67 degc , ive just updated the firmware to the latest one posted yesterday on chinagadgets and still 67 deg c at idol , im sending it back its terrible box

[superceleron]

so basically this box is just an overheating piece of junk ? im not calling the rom at all , im just saying this is the rom i have on it at moment,

Possible, but to be sure flash the stock rom!
its strange because when i had mine(already gone) it dint overheated, idle was always between 45 and 49cº at usage max at 60ºc to 63ºc (my testers also) so is puzzling...
