H96 PRO Plus - and other cool hardware mods

[panchovilla]

Cooled by ATI

I've won more or less 15 degrees. The fan is welded to the power supply of a USB port. On SPMC watching a 1080p movie I am between 39 and 42 °c, ambient temperature 28 °c in the middle of July in the south of France. Fan does not hear you have to put your ear on it to hear a little something. It does not need to be fixed and I keep possible the opening of the box without problems

Nest time, use a hole saw. lol

Hi. I made some changes , add heatsinks , holes and 5V fan.
I wanted to connect the fan to USB. I run a Libreelec on the box.
When switch thebox off , on the USB is still 5V, so fan always work.
I wonder where to get the power so the fan will not work when the box is off ?

Hi Samm, I've read somewhere that you can probably get the 5V power from the LED. Usually the LED changes color, depending on whether the box is on (normally blue light), or off (red light). If you can get the power from one of the contacts powering the blue light LED (box is on), the fan will mostly turn off when the box powers down. Or so the thinking goes.

First thanks for double post warning.
You did not understand my problem.
On all USB is 5V ,even H96 Pro + is shut down from Libreelec., and fan is working non-stop.
Fan turns even the box is down.

strange , maybe u can build in a switch ON/OFF Button ??? , not sure if works ,

but i think i already saw it somewhere ,

but is between "shut down" and "power off" not a difference in Rom ???

Hi ,

first , please make no double Threads , you can stay here for your "modding" Questions ,

not all USB ports support the 5V , try another one , then it must work , did you soldered it

inside , or with a USB plug from outside ??? ,

Great ideas here! Just got my device, still on original rom. First thing I noticed was the poor wifi signal, could only detect my room router. BT was also very weak, my PS3 controller was lagging at 5m. I removed the "tape" antenna and tried without it, still was able to detect my router signal but was little weaker. BT also got weaker. After that I soldered an sma plug and used a real antenna, now I get wifi signal from all my block. BT also improved a lot, I can connect my PS3 controller from the kitchen at 10m distance from my room with a wall and hall separating them. Signal went from water to wine!

Did anyone already tried some usb audio dongle with this box? I need microphone jack, just bought this thing: http://s.aliexpress.com/J3yiaaam?fromSns=Copy
