Mount a HeatSink on the Rock64 using 3M Thermal Tapes

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Thanks to Mark for this tutorial. But what if Pine could place a heat sink in their store, so that such guys like me, who don't have old printers to pull heatsinks off them, might get one and not worry about the board overheating?
It would be so nice. Such a beefy heatsink would be cool, literally.

Looking for one actually...  but they are hard to find these days;  its an older style TO-220 case heatsink ,  like for the older linear voltage regulators.  The trouble is that they've redesigned those heatsinks to wrap around the 7405 so they're not flat on one side-- so not good for a SoC.  Radio Shack used to carry these heatsinks ( was a common part at one time ).  Seems the only way to get them now is to salvage them from older boards.

If you find one let me know; we can recommend to TLLim to stock; I'lll do same.
