Thermal Protection

  • I was reading another thread where a user was worried about overheating, which lead me to do some investigation.

    Kszaq does the kernel have thermal protection? Like slowing the cores/gpu or shutting down until temp is at acceptable levels?

    I don't expect any of these box to have protection at the hardware level.

    Anyone open there box and install better heatsinks or thermal paste? My Beelink seems to have heatpad on the SoC connected to a thin metal sheet which has thermal paste connect to a larger metal block.

    I'm running a 10bit anime file on loop under software and didn't see temp going above 60C when temp worked in LE. But checking again as it turns out the SoC on the MXIII is on the bottom.

  • This may be an old thread but I have some good news: thanks to LE developer Kwiboo I now successfully enabled temperature sensor and there will be temperature indication + software thermal protection starting from the next build. :)
