which fan do you use? i tried some other pwm-fan on r3 and was also not able to get it working…with bpi-one on r3 and the aliexpress one on r4 i was able to do so
can anyone recommend a set of antennas and the connectors for the official sinovoip case?
and does anyone know whats the situation with the FAN, is there any required? if so, a link would be nice too
Got to home finaly, had today time to play with case i’ve got from ali, the quality is very good, need to find some oled display for it now and make some measurments for my rack 1u project
After some digging, seems they’re called “shoulder screws with spring” according to this company:
The LPDH50S looks like a fit for R4. I’m afraid it’s hard to source on Ali without a bulk order. Perhaps I’ll just postpone the idea or live with plastic push-pins for now
Once you know the keywords, you open the door to abundant info. Our fellow member actually had gone through some research and even bought a piece from Alphanovatech. This post could have received a bit more attention:
The heatsink comes with brass push-pins. The manufacturer laser prints the model and company name on the edge of the heatsink. Gosh. It’s yelling…quality make. LoL
@russelltg did file a tiny corner off to better adapt to the 1.8mm high inductor “2R2” aka L1. I believe it’s not necessary with proper thickness of thermal pads.
I do wonder those push-pins can properly apply pressure. They often look weak to me but in reality could be quite different. Especially he got the brass ones.
The brass push-pins should be capable of applying adequate pressure if they are designed for the heatsink. Alpha Novatech offers a variety of push pins and springs designed to work with their heatsinks, ensuring proper contact pressure for optimal thermal performance. Best Autodesk Civil 3D 2023 price offer. If you’re concerned about the pressure applied by the push-pins, you might consider checking if the heatsink manufacturer provides specifications for the optimal mounting pressure or if there are alternative mounting options available.
I am interested in the copper heatsink without fan. Any idea where i can buy one like those?
The one from sinovoip will be replaced and i’ll add two noctua fan’s in the case (one for SoC and one for SFP+)
