Tinker Board Forum

Hello World!


I tested it enough now, so I decided to give my first Tinkerboard S a good housing and an extra heatsink!

I did it twice before and it works perfect!

Yes, the case is not cheap, it costs € 35.- but I think it's worth every single Euro!

The heatsink costs € 12.- and that is cheap for this monter!


This is the one I already tested with a, just mounted by thermal paste, heatsink!




This is what I ordered!




Ready to go!





Abit closer!


Here you can see the heatsink's width fits perfect to the case!


More details!



Here you can see, not only the CPU also both RAM-Chips contact the Case!
But, it's not possible to remove the SD-Card without opening the case! (rasp, rasp, rasp...)

k247teK posted a link for the case on Amazon.co.uk! I found the heatsink on Amazon.co.uk!

I found both, the case and the heatsink, on german Amazon.


So, now I should start rasping and tinkering a bit!

I will show you what comes out then!

But, today already came out a new version of openBSD, and I hope soon the new version of Ubuntu (18.10)!
Sorry, Tinkerboard!

Greetings

Hey, very nice case I was about to get one when I found the official fanless case for my TB S

Would you mind to run a stress on your card to make a little comparison ?

I did a "stress -c 4 -t 900s" , monitored temps and freqs to check if the CPU was throttling or not. Results on this topic : Here

- Just your case
- Your case + Heatsink

That would be really great.
