A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's just a big ol' heat sink covering most of the board. Even under sustained 100% CPU load, I've never had it getting any hotter than 72° C, which is not even close to the maximum operating temperature of 105°. It's sitting under a desk in a corner with practically no air flow, almost completely enclosed from all sides.

You might need some limited active cooling if you are using the device for gaming, like a large and slow fan as shown in the video, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can get away without it.
