maybe one of those two could be good from the side

The problem with these fans is that they wont fit in the case of the H96 Max unless you're able to hard-mod it by cutting a piece of the plastic so it can fit. I see no point in that since the bigger fans do a better job at keeping it cool in harmony with the other small upgrades that i mentioned above. ☺

Hi ,

i already made 3 chase Mods like this :

http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...36-fan-for-ut4

so i know what i do & know that this Fan will pull out enough

hot Air , to hold the Box in a nice working Conditions , if i must

guess , i think about 40-50 degrees .

Only unsure how i connect the Fan , soldered , below the USB

socket , or like all my Boxes with a USB Plug ??? , not sure ,

What i did was this : I bought a cooling pad like this : https://www.amazon.de/dp/B073M2FJM6/..._ozhoBbYN5RP4V

Then i got me some heating conduction pads like this :

https://www.amazon.de/ARCTIC-Thermal-Pad-Wärmeleitung-Installation/dp/B00UYTTDO6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1530428181&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wärmeleitpad&dpPl=1&dpID=21jjzI0t-FL&ref=plSrch

And if course i changed the chip paste to this :

https://www.amazon.de/mx-4-Wärmeleitpaste-Wärmeleitpaste-thermische-Schnittstelle-Material-4-Gramm/dp/B07BK16TF9/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1530428078&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wärmeleitpaste&psc=1

The blue pads i cut them in shapes coresponding the size of the of the visible chips on the board and i "glued" them over the chips.

My box runs on the firmware released on 05.05.2018 wich you can find right here :

I find this stock firmware the best one released so far. The box works very smoothly on it together with all the upgrades i mentioned above .

Hope this helps. Have a great day

also i should mention, firmware 20180525 had horrible video quality for my tv. the picture was dull and blurry. the 20180502 firmware is absolutely clear using YUV444 8 or 10 bit now.

just wondering if anyone uses HDMI - advanced settings because even moving the contrast up a few notches makes picture significantly clearer and doesn't cause any blooming effects in the white levels

my tv is professionally ISF calibrated and picture is very nice so i made sure to look for any diminished detail in bright scenes and i couldn't find any. in fact it actually brought more detail out when moving the contrast up a few notches.

i did not adjust brightness, saturation or tone because they were fine as is. adjusting brightness up a few notches wasn't bad but in the end i just put it back to default

i really hope next update keeps the YUV and RGB options. terrible mistake to remove them

So this is how i do this on my windows pc running on windows 8 64bit. :
1 - Connect USB male in the Blue usb port on your box.
2 - Grab a toothpick and be ready to press the reset button hidden in the av output before connecting the other end of the usb cable to your pc so you can run the update.
( I use Driver Assistant v4.5 installed with administrator rights together with Factory Tool v1.45e also installed with administrator rights) .Once you installed the driver you open up factory tool software and change the language to English. Then you click on the firmware tab and load up the firmware you want to update to.Once its being opened you have to hit the Run tab. Once the firmware is running you should press and keep pressing the reset button and connect the other end of the usb cable your pc while the other end is already plugged into the BLUE usb port . If you did it right the new firmware should be downloading into your box.As soon as you get to 1% you may let go of the reset button After it reaches 100 % the box will check the firmware and once again you'll have to get to 100% . After that, the green button in the upper right corner should be green and you should see an success message . If all went well you should stop the running of the firmware and then exit factory tool software. Then connect the box back to your TV set and plug in power and hdmi . If you did everything right it will take about 5 minutes until you get to see the homescreen.

Success!

During the firmware upgrade process the only things you'll be needing are the USB male to male cable , the pc/laptop, the required software and the toothpick. No hdmi and no power cable are needed.

Hey thanks a lot. That is best instructions ever. It will really help. I will try tomorrow at my friends because he has PC and I don't. Thanks again

Hi. I received box from Amazon and it came installed with firmware 20180525 but I would like to install 20180502 instead
I have used burning tool for amlgic but this is first rockchip device so have a couple quick questions about procedure

1. Power adapter is not connected during update right? Only male to male usb?
2. HDMI does not need to be connected from tv to box during update? Only male to male USB from computer to box. Then after upgrade tool says upgrade complete, you connect box to TV and wait for it to load up and finish

I have read different ways to upgrade rockchip devices but just need to make sure I do it proper

Thank you

Hi everyone. I have this device and I am trying to run some app on it but the app prevents me with the message of "this app does not run on rooted devices". I tried to unroot the device using an app but it damages OS and I had to reinstall firmware. What should I do. How should run the apps. Thanx.

[kurt6916]

Yes i tried it and that one also works flawlessly.

Thanks. I'll try it out on other box and see how it works
