I am using the non-M.2 version of the Argon One case and I decided that the fan was not worth using for piCorePlayer.
The case itself dropped the temperature 10 or 12 degrees so it will probably never get to the point of needing to turning on the fan. Sydney had a relatively cool summer this year, so I will have to wait till the end of the year for further tests. I may occasionally get close to 40 degrees ambient in my house so the CPU may get close to 60 degrees on the odd occasion. The fan at 100% dropped the temperature about 5 or 6 degrees but was audible from my listening chair. I am only using piCorePlayer as a player and using sox to upsample, so no big load. Is anyone actually getting the fan to turn on just using piCorePlayer? Has anyone noted the temperature rise due to running the python script and the extra current draw of the fan? Does the SSD on the M.2 model generate a significant amount of heat? Does CPU throttling actually affect the operation of piCorePlayer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113575 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
