Hi, Newbie question. Can I use the RockPro64 without a heatsink?

Granted its a low powered operation and its not in an enclosure, then you may get away with it. But even for running a desktop, let alone video or games you probably want to attach a heatsink.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter

Thanks. Waiting for the board from China. I found a local supplier for the heatsink :-)
