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

[P.X]

I get what you are saying.

UK - I got my resistors for 10p each at my local Maplin (5p each now it is closing down )

Bay seems to be 99c for a module and 99c for 10 resistors

You pays yer money and makes yer choice, as they say !

Non-fancy resistors are really 1c or less each, in quantities as small as 10, with reputable Asian vendors like Tayda or LCSC - so you're still getting gouged pretty hard. Both have reasonable shipping costs and the former has a $5 minimum order.

This list is pretty much interesting.

We can see that Mecool is not into, it's a kind of confirmation that their Android TV support is unofficial.

This will barely surprise us, as it was more than obvious that they sell cheap alternatives of renowning brands (but still working excellent for the money!)

This is incredible, nan know how much these models cost, but I saw an interesting good (it was the only one I looked at). It says temperate from 0 ° C ~ 40 ° C. Will it?

In fact it is not so cheap, at least not in the most current models of Mecool. With money applied in one of the M8S Pro L versions you can buy a Mibox 3, Nexus Player or Fire Tv quietly.

Official certification from Google has several advatnages. Exemple : Googlecast (Chromecast).

I also looked in this list and didn't find a lot of models based on S912. Several are based on the less powerful S905/S905X.

For those in the US, "wally world" now has the Xiaomi Mibox on sale for $59.99.

Alright, just got my box. Almost 50c at idle...

Also either people are illiterate or spamming or both, that list above is in no way official, it's just somebody's compilation of devices - not sure what it's doing in this thread.

Ok, let's get back to the topic's focus.

Most of these boxes go on sale for 29- 35 range and level one 2 gig 16 gig so some value had. Xmibox not same but it does have level one....

Is to do what right? Let's settle for reality, and install fans and do what we can to get the max of our Mecool Box.

Yup pretty much why the site was formed in the first place for @

Ugh. Removing that heatsink is something.

Tried freezing it for a few hours - which some thermal epoxy datasheets specify as weakening the bond - to no effect.

Just have to keep twisting it back and forth until it comes free. A piece of 1.67mm copper or aluminium sheet can be used to help twist the heatsink. Or any flat thing that fits into the fin grooves !
