sudo ./sbc-bench.sh -c  
result - http://ix.io/1lC4
sudo ./sbc-bench.sh NEON
result - http://ix.io/1lD5
Not sure there is much difference or not.

It seems the 0.6 version you grabbed is pretty deaf to parameters, neither of the results you post are running cpuminer! Try delete your copy of sbc-bench and re-run the wget. Parameter should be either neon (lower case, no -) or -c

@Luke - yeah but confused why he fits a shim - will ask him next time I see him on IRC! My heatsink fits fine without a shim.

Well because copper + thermal paste = better thermal efficiency than the thermal pad. But I think the performance is good enough for most applications with the thermal pad anyways.

Yeah, but with a shim you have 2 junctions between the chip heatspreader and the heatsink. Which is unnecesary and thermally inefficient (compared to just 1 if you put the heatsink straight on the heatspreader. Of course thermal pads tend to be inefficient compared to thermal paste ...)

To my experience - thermal pads on PIN64 heatsink is efficient enough to pass the heat from CPU and RAM.
The more important thing is to keep the heatsink temperature low with a good cooling fan.
