Heat issues

I don't use a heat sink or case and I have the Rock64 running 24/7 as a home automation server under Armbian. I think some of the more exotic distros particularly those who have a heavy video overhead I imagine may need some form of passive cooling particularly those boards that are housed in low profile cases.
The Rock64 is a tinkerers board so you can expect to spend time and effort tailoring your setup to suit your own purposes. Armbian will work out of the box with little or no effort for those looking for a "plug'n'go" solution.
