Today we will discuss two methods for more efficient cooling sticks Android Mini PC. As I told you on the comments box, stick MK908 can pretty much heat in some conditions thankfully there are solutions, today I will recommend two solutions that will help to keep the little beast to a decent temperature.
ARM processors are were known for it's low power consumption and the ability to stay cool, or whatever, relatively cold. It seems that lately things change, the pressure of which is subject to the ARM architecture, due to demand increasingly higher processor for phones and tablets, it reaches end processors for laptops and dn terms of consumption but the operating temperature.
In the absence of a dedicated processor power management and lack of optimized operating system, the Rockchip SOC RK3188 is very hot.
Where we will end up with ARM platform? Maybe we'll have time for another opportunity to debate ARM vs X86.
More to the point, I propose two solutions, both effective. One of them is to use a passive heatsink (chipset cooler) and give the second solution is to use a fan to extract hot air from 40mm stick inside android mini pc.
Both solutions give results but have advantages and disadvantages of each side.
1. Passive cooler:
It is quite effective and absolutely silent, unfortunately is large and difficult to install, then it can be dangerous and device itself if the user does not care to position the stick sits android mini pc.
2. Fan:
It is effective and easy to install, unfortunately make some noise and needs 12V (my model), this means a separate power supply, the 5V (USB) does not work than a manual boost, spin him a little at first and then will operate at about half the normal speed, even so it is sufficient for optimal airflow. If you find a fan that works on 40V 5mm is perfect, so you can mount it and stick it permanently powered from the USB stick's.
If you ask me, I would choose the fan is easy to install and cools really well. If you plan to mount android mini pc behind a television can also use passive cooling method is as effective, and in addition is silent but must pay more attention.
I have showed you choose.
Careful.

Hey, I said Cristi.Cum to comments in the previous tutorial (of Adrian) how we capture the desktop capture with a camera?
PS: Sorry for the off-topic. : D
Again you removed that mole cricket? Looks like gold and diamond tinsmiths! I asked you to tell us if the guy doing Hackintosh project and I see that you put the handkerchief you have reactivated old tambal.Dupa videotutorial collaborators expect to roar project site. To my surprise, I'm more disappointed than when you do it yourself videotutoriale!
I say that if they had all metal cover, do not heat so much.
Super tutorial.
There would be a lot of things to learn about this mini PC. We should not abandon it even now, after seeing what it can do.
Question: The fan can be powered from USB mini PC?
Please continue with other functions of: reading from external HDD (with power outlet), reading mkv or other formats, subtitle accented, cable internet (not WiFi) using a USB adapter, the other settings in menu (there are a lot of things to learn) especially for those who have never used before Android.
Thank you for your effort and do not take into account what everyone comments ... "children" (especially about your colleagues).
You know how it is - everyone is good at negative comments, otherwise ...
In connection with the use USB cooler, you can use it, but the words and Cristi will not work as well as the outlet. However, if you want to use USB HUB I recommend you to use and cooler something else, such as a USB stick or external HDD. But as said Cristi, the best method is the plug-
:)))) There must to be bad but have a bit of justice even as it's been a while since we do not know anything about hachintosh. So to continue the project or not? If you need help to install the system for proper I think it's no shame to ask can we help you I think we all learned since even videotutorial.ro team. We all would be glad to give a helping hand on the wheel and see. I hope not to offend anyone for all the above. I just finished one of my personal ak if you are interested you photos here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/members/umezala69/albums/my-power-mac-g5-hackintosh/
Cristi welcome
you didn't give up until you untied it too :)
Hello! When you can make a video tutorial about shockwave flash. I have problems with this plugin from google and I searched on the internet seeing that it is a solution in which this plugin can be repaired
Hello
you have an unfulfilled promise, setting the tp-link after the firmware with ddd wrt. Maybe you can stand it and do it ......
Cristi, I have a big problem I can not solve it with this mini-pc.Navighez the internet, watch a movie, or look for something on the net, and I mention to him that his image disappears a few seconds, then returns to normal.Nu give him head and gata.Care be cauza.Multumesc.
I had the same problem with my miniPCI. It turned out to be due to faulty power supply. If it's powered directly from the USB TV definitely have this problem. If you have a power supply for it, check it with a multimeter. Must have exactly 2 amps intensity that you can not provide the TV.
Daniel is absolutely right about the "Hackintosh Project, Level 1", a thing that must be started must be completed, but it also depends on when this will happen. But why the hurry? I still have a little patience until 2200 in the autumn when the problem of Romanian highways and stray dogs is solved. If the problem is not solved even then, I take my toys and leave.
