Banana Pi BPI-R4 & BE14000 Wifi7 heat sink test

  • Test tools: R4 , Heat sink , BPI-R4-NIC-BE14

  • Test environment: indoor air conditioning temperature 23℃

  • Test image: mtk-bpi-r4-MP4_1-SD-20241216.img

Use iperf3 command simulation using WiFi board, and then use

cat/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 / temp

iwpriv ra0 stat

view the CPU temperature and WiFi card temperature, respectively.

Here is the integrated test script.

Test scripts:

#!/bin/bash

iperf3 -s -p 5201 &

iperf3 -s -p 5202 &

iperf3 -s -p 5203 &

echo "Three iperf3 server instances are running in the background on ports 5201, 5202, and 5203."

(while true; do cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp; sleep 30; done) &

(while true; do iwpriv ra0 stat; sleep 30; done) &

Here I will divide the temperature comparison between the use of heat sink and the use of heat sink.

The corresponding temperature was recorded at roughly 20-minute intervals.Mainly look at BE1400 temperature comparison (here just casually record CPU temperature)

No heart sink With heart sink
Number of measurements CPU temperature(℃) WiFi card temperature(℃) CPU temperature(℃) WiFi card temperature(℃)
first 47.587 68 47.961 48
second 48.573 75 49.698 60
third 48.861 77 50.085 62
fourth 49.110 75 50.385 62
fifth 48.986 77 51.271 66
sixth 48.536 75 50.972 64
seventh 48.473 77 50.097 60
eighth 48.411 75 50.934 64

After using the heat sink, the temperature of BE14000 has decreased significantly, and the heat dissipation effect is very good after adding the heat sink.

nice testing :slight_smile: have u been able to also test this in a case?
