			<description><![CDATA[I just started playing with my Pine64 again, and I'm looking at including its temperature information in my home-grown graphing system. I found that it seems like mostly valid data in the /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp file, but I noticed that it has zero digits of precision. It's currently reporting 36C idling on my desk, and if I run "stress --cpu 4" for a few seconds, it shoots up to about 80C within 10 seconds, so I can assume it's measuring real data.<br />
<br />
Is integer precision the best I'm going to get? My RPis are reporting to about 3 decimals of precision. It's not a big deal, but an integer graph is pretty boring.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone.<br />
<br />
Just got my Pine64+ 2GB and am amazed! I installed zoneminder and the temperature felt hot. At least to me.<br />
<br />
I was thinking of installing a heatsink without having to do some major remodelling of the case and all. Usually, I am a pretty "recycle and DIY" type of guy so I had a bunch of motherboard heatsinks laying around:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3ed6497cc.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3ed6497cc.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
Here is a little info on the system standard load.<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3af130cc5.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3af130cc5.png]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
Here is my system's temperature under standard load:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3b3c9d53e.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3b3c9d53e.png]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
And here it is after my poor man's heatsink setup:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3b7117071.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3b7117071.png]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
If anyone wants to do as I did, here are a few pictures:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3f08b8f04.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3f08b8f04.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3f17eba35.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3f17eba35.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3f3133106.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3f3133106.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b3f45b2014.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b3f45b2014.jpg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
I now imagine someone will ask about system temperature under full load... Here it is:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/b40a31ee33.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: b40a31ee33.png]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
Putting an old processor fan nearby gives me another 3 to 4°C drop.<br />
<br />
Interesting for a poor man's setup.<br />
<br />
Your opinion?<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to check if it is suggested to use a heat sink/fan for my Pine64. <br />
<br />
I was using my Pine64 for about 2 hours last night to watch some videos in Kodi and after that, just out of curiosity, I touched the A64 chip and it was super hot, I did not measure the temperature but i felt it was hot enough to melt the circuit if i watch videos for a longer duration. <br />
<br />
Specifics:-<br />
Pine 64 - 2GB<br />
OS - Android, 04/28/2016 image flashed using Phoenix card.<br />
Outside temp - 21 degree Celsius<br />
Other - No overclocking]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was wondering about operating temperature, idle temperature, and upper and lower limits of the pine. Has anyone done any testing on this?<br />
<br />
I'd like to use mine as a media server, but if it runs too hot on idle, the place that I'd like to put it may not be wise. <br />
<br />
Honestly, this is probably all in the faq, but it at least gives me an excuse to interact with the community.]]></description>
