its getting new superpowers by the day

@bap get an ornage pi PC 2

1GB RAM + GbEthernet

3x USB 2.0 connected to CPU (not shared like rpi)

if you want usb 3.0 get the new opi 3 https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/01/19/orange-pi-3-allwinner-h6-sbc/

but armbian doesn't support it yet

get a JMS578 based USB->sata adapter

I have the original orange pi PC as a NAS and just bought the PC2 to upgrade to GbE

original works fine if you can stand 100mbit

>Allwinner

http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

the h3 and h5 work fine

for a NAS

nanopi make a nas dock kit but it's expensive https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=222

+ nanopi neo 2

+ $20 shipping

the hw video encoder in the h5 isn't supported yet but should be in next kernel release

@Magnets Heat is also an issue

Mine was dropping cores because of it

@Magnius which board?

the nanopi?

opi pc

the smaller boards get hotter

are you running armbian?

the stock OS overvolts the CPU IIRC

you need armbian

Had the same happen with armbian

Right now it's working as a dust collector

how long ago did you test it?

i've had my opipc running for 2 years

temps don't go above 35 degrees

Must've been 3 or 4 years ago

it runs 15-20 above ambient

you can downclock the processor, use conservative governor

it only gets hot if you peg the CPU
