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

[DukeJustice]

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.
