Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@jeandavid-e1c says : the fan is not connected ! no needs ?>> <<@thethirdman225 says : Amazing review. Thanks. The biggest problem I have is that those small form factor M.2 SSDs are extremely expensive here.>> <<@rosswmccallister4866 says : Sold out ( out of stock) everywhere. Any ideas on who is stocking these?>> <<@LotusCarsLtd says : Radxa, Radza, Radzah, Ratza, Radaxa, etc.>> <<@kawaito_pixel says : Jika terlibat dengan perkara2 begini.. bukan pengetahuan tentang ini je yang tahu. Perkara2 lain pun ikut serta. 😊😊😊>> <<@zzz9632-c7c says : so if i understand correctly, you did the [heatsink] -> [thermal paste] -> [copper shim] -> [thermal paste] -> [cpu]? i want to get an n100/n150 mini-pc instead such as bmax b4 and if the fan used there ends up too loud i might disassemble it and do the copper shim thing with thermal paste>> <<@rkg456 says : what did you use for a copper shim? do you have a link or thickness suggestion?>> <<@stevekirkham5193 says : AAlways good to learn here. I'm now a bit smarter.>> <<@AndyDuplain says : Outstanding work! Many thanks!>> <<@TyTytheFurkit says : Well, now I want to invest in one of these. You know what'd be funny, if one were to run the x86 version of the Raspbian Desktop with ordinary Debian Bullseye(?) on this device in particular. Everything would look normal from a software standpoint up until one looks at the specs. But, yeah this is definitely something I'm going to invest in. I could imagine it going well, attached to a portable lapdock, or portable touchscreen display. And knowing how it has a similar layout to most Raspberry Pis, I bet there would be some portable Pi projects out there that'd work with it. I could see this being very useful, and a brilliant x86-64 alternative to the dominance of ARM SBCs.>> <<@vpchelko says : this is finnally awesome micro PC for home and office usage - but price should be comparible with mini PC with the same spec!>> <<@vpchelko says : moar annoying - mini-HDMI...>> <<@AmitTipale-nd8fq says : Can we run VMware on this?>> <<@tonysummers2334 says : I'm looking for an x86 sbc that will run Linux Mint. I live in a camper so only have 12 volt DC, is this Radxa X4 the best option or is there something better suited, it needs to be small?>> <<@glitch015 says : whats the thickness is the copper plate you used?>> <<@toti3942 says : Hi, How thick is the copper sheet you use in the cooler?>> <<@Jack.Rivera25 says : Sweet video. Thanks a lot. The nvme card from where did you buy it? Greetings.>> <<@sinisterpisces says : What would you recommend for a pre-cut copper shim and thermal paste? I just ordered one of these with the PoE hat. :)>> <<@DellAnderson says : How confident are you that the Radxa X4 was not throttling in the second (copper heat sink'd) CPU Prime test? Or third (without the fan)? Did you compare the cpu speeds at equilibrium temp to that with the fan?>> <<@PackElend says : any chance to drop power consumption. I would use it headless only to operate some container on the edge>> <<@philipbrady7635 says : what a great little system>> <<@archttila says : Nice review! Thanks! Can you kindy give me the dimensions of the copper shim?>> <<@mariamkhanam4037 says : Can you kindy give me the dimensions of the copper shim? i.e: length, width and height/thickness>> <<@TerraMagnus says : The case seems really shabby. They can’t all be Raspberry Pi. 😂 But seriously, Raspberry Pi sets the bar that consumers like me are going to judge any other SBC’s by.>> <<@donaldlemoine3032 says : I used a copper shim with arctic silver.>> <<@djtxxxy says : what does stanley the knife think of it?>> <<@lrochfort says : These videos are excellent. I'm a "professional" Linux kernel developer by day, so consider myself quite technical, but these videos present exactly the information needed clearly and concisely.>> <<@SalvoDan says : What I want to know about these x86-64 SBCs are how compatible are they with Haiku? I want to make a miniature BeBox to relive the 1990s, like Nina-makes NeXTCube.>> <<@davesherry5384 says : Hello Chris, I wonder if you have done a review of the POE hat for this unit and if so, if both the cooling hat and the POE hat can coexist on this nice little PC?>> <<@MCSEgoner says : how thick is the copper shim used in this video?>> <<@nikobellic570 says : Doesn't copper short circuit the cpu? Or is that a risk elsewhere on circuit boards?>> <<@johnwalshaw says : That's amazing, what are the dimensions and depth of the copper shim?>> <<@zoldaten123 says : отлично маркетинг работает: взять старый n100 из мини-пк и засунуть его в sbc. и...заново продать.>> <<@bummers says : Could fan control be under "Acoustic Management" in BIOS?>> <<@farishanafiah8461 says : The reason I buy an RPi SBC is because I want to have the full desktop Linux ARM experience. If I'm going to have an x86 CPU, I can easily buy any secondhand Windows laptop and made a Linux clean install in it. Heck, you can also buy any budget Windows mini PC with similar or faster CPU for less than $300. Sorry, but I really don't see the point of this SBC.>> <<@ScienceMessiah says : That gap between CPU and heatsink is a no go! Especially considering both parts come from the same manufacturer. That's just brain dead. So little attention for such an important part of the product doesn't testify a lot of competence. And what is that unnecessary bulge?? Nah.. too many good alternatives out there to buy this mishap of an SBC.>> <<@nikobellic570 says : No one likes micro hdmi ports!>> <<@L0rDLuCk says : Do you think, a M.2 SATA breakout module with ASMedia ASM1064 or JMB575 chipset can work as well to get some more storage options?>> <<@escapefelicity2913 says : link to drivers, please TIA>> <<@myers830 says : Great video...may I ask what thickness copper shim did you use (taking into account the thickness of thermal compound). I see them on Amazon at .8mm and 1.0mm thickness. Also what power supply do you recommend on Amazon? There are so many out there, its confusing.>> <<@J0xxe says : What an idiotic heatsink design from Radxa... Why design something like that if you don't do it properly.>> <<@pleappleappleap says : Is there any way to fit a thermally-controlled fan to this? Perhaps someone else makes a different case? Is there a way to cable it to the board?>> <<@anonylesss says : i have to post a little update on my own personal X4 4GB/32GB experience: i installed the original thermal pad (i believe i got an improved version of the heatsink labeled Rev V1.006) with some thermal paste on both sides of the pad. installed Debian 12 KDE Plasma and ran the exact same stress tech you ran (same command exactly) . i got the 48c average on Psensor, max at 54c after at least 10 minutes of test! so it might be an "improved thermal pad" or my thermal paste doing its job - but these are really good thermals with the original cooling solution provided by Radxa. btw, it's my mom's new "PC" replacing a Pi4 4GB , and she is very happy with its performance so far:)>> <<@cvtuk91 says : Anyone know what thickness to use for the copper shim? And also if anyone can tell me the dimensions of the die on n100 that would be helpful also, thanks!>> <<@JohnWindberg says : what size, thickness is that copper piece and where can one be ordered?>> <<@trevorberridge6079 says : Amazing to see the Raxda working cooler without the fan when it has a proper heat sink set up. I have to say though that I couldn't hear the fan noise. However, if the temperatures are going to remain perfectly manageable without it I can see how attractive a fanless option would be.>> <<@DanSmith-g5q says : really like your you tube videos but can tell just a little about the shim thickness used for radxa x4 heatsink>> <<@ahmedsarker01 says : Is it possible to run windows xp on this machine natively but not in a virtual environment?>> <<@zk_6312 says : Looks like a nice board other than the fact you cannot get a US power supply.>> <<@poppedweasel says : Thanks for setting off my Anatidae phobia.>>
