Just out of interest did you have a heatsink or any active cooling or just bare?
currently just bare and in a case... but the lid is off the case. Considering a small heatsink and maybe a case fan. I'll decide once I get my usb hub tomorrow

Really should be an addition in the Pine shop and maybe a mention its better for the Rock to be more modest and not have him run naked.
... was a deliberate marketing choice. They did not want to generate the impression that there is a "thermal problem" with the RK3328; deliberately running the board conservatively not only improves its stability, but allows the board to be run even under modest loads without active or passive cooling add-ons.
I always add passive cooling to my SoC(s) and most of them have pwm driven (2N2222) active cooling via 5v brushless fans; my Rock64 has the fan mounted underneath the case enclosure ( can evacuate the case about 135 times per minute and that with a good heatsink and 3M thermal tapes ).
