Did you have a cooling fan on the chip or was this all naked? I have used a RockPro64 with the tallest heatsink Pine64 offers, open-air for about a year and have never had any heat issues. Recently I obtained the NAS case, however the case fan is dependent on a special program currently only available for Linux OSes, something I haven't had time to look into further. My solution is to keep the case cover off the NAS case but haven't done any formal measurements. I will likely do a manual hardwiring of the NAS case fan since it is 12v and switch to the lower-profile heatsink with the optional CPU fan for cooling, once someone or myself figures out how to drive it in FreeBSD.
Quartz64, RockPro64, PinePhone Mobian, PineBook Pro, PineTime, and all the trimmings that make FOSS fun.
