Will this heatsink fit the earlier ROCK Pi X revision with removable EMMC?
Thank you
ROCK Pi X heatsink (earlier revisions)
yes.
The eMMC is already considered.
Hi, @jack
Will the raised height of the EMMC (when mounted) interface with the heatsink?
As I see there’s a cut-out for the SMT inductor coil on the heatsink and both the SMT inductor coil and the EMMC comes to around the same height.
Oh… The heatsink takes into consideration the shape of the current layout, which has EMMC soldered on the board, no socket. So the cutout on the heatsink isn’t big enough for that version of the board.
Thanks for your reply.
So, the heatsink in the link above is only for the newer revisions and won’t support the older revisions with removable EMMC. Am I correct?
Seems that way. Maybe @jack knows if there’s another version of the heatsink. Otherwise, you’d have to ask a friend with a machine shop to see if they could alter the current one.
