RockPro64 Cooling Advice wanted - agw - 03-18-2019

Hi All,

I'm looking for info/advice on cooling a RockPro64.  The project that I want to use this computer for is computationally expensive and would be running continually for days or weeks.  What kind of heat sink, fan, case combination would be best to keep my new computer cool.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

The RockPro64 can get pretty hot under particular circumstances. Will your use-case also involve the mali GPU (that tends to add a few *C)? in any case, there is a large heatsink you can buy for the board, but you can also fit GPU (55mm) heatsink+ fan that can be had for a few $ of amazon or ebay.
