Hi,
Running continuously the A5E gets quite hot and subsequently starts throttling the CPU, and finally shuts down completely. Due to its unique form factor and CPU placement, it’s not obvious to me what existing cooling solutions would fit for the A5E. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chOLfWkJrxo - at 0:48 - custom fan
same person did some CPU temperature measurement in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydTfUJKYEcw at 5:50
I did stick a small heat sink to the chip, together with a very slow, inaudible fan in a small case i designed for the cubie, it can run on full load without throttling.
You can find the case here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7023900/files
Have fun!
Oooh! really cool, thank you! What are the dimensions of the fan and heatsink? Just so I can be sure it’ll fit into the case.
The fan is 40x40x8mm, the heat sink is 20x14x6mm. The heat sink could be larger, but not much thicker.
best
