Well, huge heatsink is needed is the correct term. At least for people like me who hate annoying small fans.

In the meantime we (as broader ARM SBC community) have quite some experience with RK3399 and heat dissipation:

Such a huge passive heatsink as can be seen on the RockPro64 is sufficient, anything smaller not. At least not if you want to take advantage of the CPU horsepower living inside RK3399.

BTW: It’s easy to measure ‘thermal efficiency’ now with sbc-bench. I developed the tool especially to get an idea how/when throttling occurs.

Excellent, good to see its finally happening

You’re welcome! I’m new here, handling the website mostly, as well as the English translations (native speaker). :slight_smile:

Hi tksaiser:
Thanks for the feedback. Actually we designed the Edge Heatsink as an enclosing/case, also support mounting cooling fan.

We will update more details about Edge soon. :wink:

Good day!

But the Edge promo/product page says that just a heatsink will be included (see screenshot). Or does “Heatsink x1(TBC)” equal the : Edge Heatsink enclosing/case, that you mentioned.

Yep, we just not sure whether the package box should include the heatsink, as at first we designed the package in quite small dimensions:

That looks prettty sweet.
Please also consider the Captain board for the case, if possible at all.

Hi Guys,

We’re currently working on the Edge v12.

In addition, we have the Edge-V, which is basically a VIM Board with the RK3399 Chip. The samples should be in within 1-3 days, will post some photos then! :smiley:

Does Edge-V will habe box and heatsink/cooler already mounted?

Observations
Underneath CPU Area, Thermal Pad to a Metal Base can help a lot with heat dissipation

Suggest maybe a case that is all Metal top and bottom and CPU can be sandwiched Between Thermal Pads
No Fan, No Noise, No dust, or cat hairs :smiley:

Well @Gouwa asks me to keep things secret for now. :smiley:

Good idea, passive cooling :slight_smile:

Yes we should do some tests for that.

Good its Excellent :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

From the images I see pity there was not more thru holes in the PCB, round CPU area.
Could have easily mounted Slab of alloy top a bottom with thermal Pad,

A small fan if needed just to keep the air moving
Buts vents and the law of thermal thermal dynamics normally takes care of that must have vents

My fiddling with just the Normal Android Boxes and I have fiddle a few
Never any vents must cost a lot of extra to put in vents…:smiley:
Look forward to you investigations,

And Please a Good 3 to 5 amp Power supply…

Edge support USB-C compatible adapter, which mean that the volage can up to 20V :slight_smile:

We will design a spcify cooling fan for Edge

There are four M.2 mounting holes on Edge board, the two close the USB ports, and the other two close to the edge finger :wink:

Well, I think following can share now :blush:

Correct it would work with current mountings

I was thinking out loud and along the lines of how Computers have mount close to CPU for heat sinks etc.

Would have made a s neat CPU sandwich and casing could have gone around,

Would have been so cool could have used it for a fridge, well not really but would have been:sunglasses:

Almost thought you said that the M2 mounting holes could be used to mount a slab of alloy, that was itself also mounted to a refrigerator!

I like that it has only one intake, I prefer that in these centrifugal fans.
