Overclocking available?

[blktiger]

The dimensions of the A64 (the SoC) are 15mm x 15mm. There is enough clearance for up to about 20mm x 20mm.
The dimensions of the voltage regulator are 9mm x 9mm.

You can buy 15mm x 15mm heatsinks for cheap. Some come with adhesive tape.

See http://www.michaeldornisch.com/2012/06/d...-sink.html on how to may your own tiny heatsinks.
Requires tools to cut a bigger heatsink to smaller ones.
They got a reduction in temperature of about 18C.

Thanks! I have this old laptop with a small fan, i think i'll be doing the DIY way.

That would need to be a teeny tiny laptop fan! 

I plan on overclocking and cooling, but certainly below 2GHz. I doubt the OS is stable at 2GHz even if the CPU is properly cooled. I'll wait until I get my P64+ in March and then start tinkering. I'll start with a small inexpensive heatsink and see how I do. Something like this should work: http://amzn.com/B00HPQGTI4. I'm hoping a heatsink plus the four-post open air case gives the unit enough breathing room for some mild overclocking. 


Already have my heatsinks, and all my other stuff, . . just waiting for my board now
