My RockPro64 finally arrived, and when I unpacked it, I realised that I forgot to include a CPU heatsink on my order.
I have read in a number of places that the RK3399 get very hot, so it would be foolish to run it without a heatsink, but as my last order took 6 weeks to arrive, I don't want to order just a heatsink from the PINE store and wait that long before I can start using my new RockPro64.
Can anyone suggest where I might get a substitute heatsink from? Does the heatsink spec match a well known standard from elsewhere in the electronics industry? Looking at the board it is clear that a CPU cooler from a desktop CPU would not fit, and the mounting would be totally different, but would a chipset heatsink likely fit?
Thanks.
