Overheating Mecool M8s Pro L and Pro + (and others ?) - Options ???

[Jancales]

I do not know if this older version of YouTube helps keep the temperature good. In any case without the fan would not be able to maintain that temperature.

So you are using a fan inside your box, I didn't notice that earlier from your pic, thought you only had a oversized heat sink.

That explains something, yet it is still good temperature.

Is that tested after using Youtube for at least 1 hour

Just checked UK distributor for the ADDA Fan/HS and minimum order is £50 +£12 post +VAT (eeeeek) ~ £74.40
They stock the 35mm AP3505HB-J70 - H version (High CFM/Speed/Noise)
USA is the 35mm L version (though apparently still needs to slowed down !!

40mm M version also available in UK (H version in USA !?!)

[P.X]

As promised, results and pics of end result. I soldered to a 3.3v source and the sound is barely audible now!

Hi,

Can you detail what 3.3V source you used ?
Pics if possible.
Is it a switched supply ?

Nice work by the way, shame that Fan/HS is so expensive from AliXpress, and the US **** seller doesn't ship to UK (would be expensive if they did anyway !!!)

Hi,

My Graph temps are all at MAX Load using StressCPU.

Expect lower temps with YouTube etc.

Exactly, here where I live even with a higher temperature than in Europe, I can keep the temperature below 50°c by watching YouTube.

What modification have you done that you get only 45°C on youtube, because that is an extremely low temperature, unless you live in Siberia.

My box now with heat sink and fan underneath runs 42°C at idle, which i think is an excellent temperature.

Can it be you are confused, because if i look at the graphs P.X has posted, the lowest temperature from all mods is 58°C

I am using CPU monitor. It shows it running on the screen in my 4k screenshot. My plan from the start was to get decent load temps with active cooling in the original un-altered case. I think I achieved that. My box also sits in a floating entertainment center which probably adds to the heat a little. So far 58-60C full load.

I'm not sure, but I find it a little warm.

It took me some time to get all the screenshots, send from my cell phone and then send to server, but here is the result.

And answering, no I do not live in Siberia, I know it's freezing because of the game of the same name, although I never played. lol.

Here where I live is quite warm, and my room is still hotter.
We did tests on YouTube the temperature did not exceed 48 ° C, even in 1080p. All images will be available in Mega.

Floating Entertainment center isn't very optimal for no top ventilation. But it's stable and clean!

Interesting, I thought it would be cooler, please consider using the CPU Monitor with Floating Temperature app on the screen to monitor in real time. There is and please send me the data by private message, I believe you can not post here, your post may be disapproved.

Forgive me, I understood that 32 ° C was the temperature of your device at rest. Already posted something like this, 30 ° to 34 ° C with the device at rest or doing basic tasks. On my I get 45th Degree running YouTube, but I still need to take the screenshots, it's dawn here, so I can not do it right now.

I think you misread my post.

32°C is my room temperature, I never seen a box running at that temperature.

Don't know where you got the 40°C figure from also because Dbramm22 posted, in a now removed post. that he reaches 60°C and I get 63°C.

40°C under stress test is not possible in my opnion

Obviously the dbramm22 mod looks superb, but I would appreciate if he would post screenshots from an extended stress cpu test.

If you look at my screenshot. In the left hand of the screen it shows the temp. Gaming and 4k, I haven't seen it go above 60C.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Since I've tried similar alfo in the past, let's say that the dbramm22 method sounds much more beautiful, you'll see nothing besides the device. On the temperature, 32 ° c is great, but 40 ° c is a normal temperature a SoC that supports high temperatures. The big problem is that it exceeds 50 ° c. Currently my device is powered on 3.3v with 56ohms resistor to reduce noise, the temperature is fine for me. The only drawback is wue is open and that it gathers dust.

Damn, that looks good . My fan should be here this week.
