The mold is almost done, but as Chinese Spring Festival is coming, lot of factories in Shenzhen are on holiday a few days later.

We plan to launch the heatsink together with the cooling fan in early of March.

Thanks!

I hope that future revisions of the fan, and the way the fan is mounted, will be completely different.

I did bought it unfortunately, i hate to hear that noise, it’s disconnected most of the time.

Can we expect a cooling fan kit being available soon for my khadas vim2 max ? The kit is sold out everywhere. Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Gouwa,

Good to know about this oficial cooling solution. I was hoping to know more about the launch of the product, thanks!

Edit: found in DIY Case/Housing for VIMs

I can see that this vim heatsink and fan fits perfectly but just want to confirm if this will fit inside the case provided by khadas along with the kvim1 unit?

I have added heatsink and fan to cart in aliexpress.
FanLink
Heatsink Link

While these 2 fit inside the case?
Also what about heatsink for the Ram at the back?
Can I use these?
Tiny heatsink link

Please advice as my kvim 1 running at 77•c on manjaro kde.

Hello, I think it will fit in the VIM case(acrylic case supplied with VIM), however, Original VIM fan kit was sold with a new top panel that had a hole cut for fan intake. The original heatsink had fan on the other side. A provision for intake air would need to be added.
The new heatsink is supplied with a thermal pad that engages most of the heat generating components.
I will check clearance with new HS and acrylic case tonight, will be a few hours.

Any update on this?

Let me know if it fits so i can place an order.

78

Hello, I apologize about the delay. I meant to report back here.
I used parts of my VIMs’ original case pieces on a DIY case. As a result, I cannot assemble an original case to test for clearance.
Possibly @Gouwa, @tsangyoujun or others can provide the answer.

No Problem,
I have taken the dimensions, I will check it myself.

Thanks Alot.

Checked, Depth is very cut-to-cut So might need to make a hole on top for the fan and I doubt about the heatsink height too, So will make cuts according to the area.

Thanks Anyways. Will update the images once I receive the sink and fan.

Hi Mike:
Thanks to help on the Khadas Forum and the AT me for confirmation!

Actually, both the New VIMs Heatsink and existing(original) VIMs Heatsink can work for VIM1 SBC, but just be note that the New VIMs Heatsink not suit for original VIM2 SBC.

Both works for VIM1!

Should not work, the maximum height of the bottom side have to less then 3.7MM(distance from PCB to Bottom Case) - 1.0MM(RAM height) = 2.6MM.

Have fun!
