RE: Gridcoin Link-Collection
Hey @jimbo88,
I ordered the Odroid because of your post here on steemit :D
I chose the Odroid XU4Q, that's the one with the passive cooling. I just received it a few hours ago, so there is still a lot of work ahead of me. I just installed Ubuntu minimal and did my network-configurations as I noticed that the thing was getting really hot. I checked the temperature and it was running at 74°C on idle. That seemed a little high, so I removed the heatsink, cleaned everything and some fresh thermalpaste. That had a huge impact: current idle temperature is 49°C.
Next up is installing boinc.
Thank you for your article. I wouldn't have ordered one without it I guess. :)
And thanks for the links, I will edit them in.
Happy to be of assistance :-)
Under full load and with the onboard fan, mine usually run between 80C and 85C. The 4 cores that can run at 2.0GHZ, generally only run at 1.8 or 1.9 though; I've never been able to entirely avoid throttling with these boards.
