I'm sure that there's some article that i'm missing, but is there any way to overclock to get a higher speed?
Thanks in advance, i'm a n00b at this stuff

Yes, it should be capable I saw a post on Reddit (might not be true) but someone got their Cortex A53 to a clock speed of 2GHz!
Note: Don't try! It might break it unless the chip is properly cooled

I don't get my Pine until March, but by then i'm sure there will be better documentation. In another topic, i hope Pine64 makes some heatsink units available! I plan to run a small gaming server in my desk drawers

The dimensions of the voltage regulator are 9mm x 9mm.
You can buy 15mm x 15mm heatsinks for cheap. Some come with adhesive tape.
See http://www.michaeldornisch.com/2012/06/d...-sink.html on how to may your own tiny heatsinks.
Requires tools to cut a bigger heatsink to smaller ones.
They got a reduction in temperature of about 18C.
Thanks! I have this old laptop with a small fan, i think i'll be doing the DIY way.

Mild overclocking should be possible without any extra cooling.
But it could shorten the life of the board.
I measured the laptop fan, it is just under 20mm square. Does anyone know how tall the acrylic enclosure is? I might also put some fans on the side, totally out of the way of the board. I think there's a bit of room to all edges of the board, I could fit some fans in the outer perimeter of the case.
I will also be cautious about overclocking, I'd at least like to get it up to 1.5Ghz if I can.
