Common knowledge? Xiaomi box s

by AlbatrozzSWE

Hi, I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but the xiaomi mibox is reely simple to take apart. And it has an antenna connection on the pcb but no attached antenna.

The "heatsink" is a metal plate mounted in the top "clamshell". I cut a hole in the top plastic and attached a stock Intel cooler (without fan) on the "back side" of the original cooler, now it runs a little bit better during heavy usage 👌

It has always run fine, even at full loads. What kind of issues you were running into that you needed a fan to be added to it.

Unless you do gaming which this box is not meant for, I don't see any point of doing this.

both of mine run warm when it's being used but not hot enough that it needs a fan.

don't use it for gaming. get a shield for that.

I didn't use the fan, only the heatsink. Please read!
