Running cpuminer as a benchmark indicates it is: stock 30mm at 2GHz was reaching 80C after about 15 minutes and throttling, this new sink seems to be able to keep under 80C (ambient 23C) indefinitely and running RockPro at 2.1/1.5GHz.
Had to mount it on the long axis of the board to prevent interference with the PCIe card. Available all over Fleabay - I happened to get mine from this vendor with no problems.
Hello Dukla2000,
That heaktink seems really nice.
can you post a picture from the other side?
How is the GPIO behind it?
Does you have space to insert a fan header?and pins on GPIO?
And the spdif?
Does the board support well the 110g of weight?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards

But all in all a nice passive cooler. it does have a fan that comes with it but would need connection modification. Just wanted to share this.
IT should have a nice dissipation since is made of copper.
Can you access to GPIO?
Does you have used the silicon pad behind it?
Resuming..it was dificult to mount?
