Poor man's heatsink setup - from 48°C to 35°C (118°F to 95°F)

Hi everyone.

Just got my Pine64+ 2GB and am amazed! I installed zoneminder and the temperature felt hot. At least to me.

I was thinking of installing a heatsink without having to do some major remodelling of the case and all. Usually, I am a pretty "recycle and DIY" type of guy so I had a bunch of motherboard heatsinks laying around:

Here is a little info on the system standard load.

Here is my system's temperature under standard load:

And here it is after my poor man's heatsink setup:

If anyone wants to do as I did, here are a few pictures:

I now imagine someone will ask about system temperature under full load... Here it is:

Putting an old processor fan nearby gives me another 3 to 4°C drop.

Interesting for a poor man's setup.

Your opinion?

Regards.

Marc.
