On the 5+, there is a fan connector beside the clock...both .1mm.2pin. with augment software, the fan pwms. Also armbian-config allows clock options for throttling...on demand is great. For full perf, go peltier with fan...best with 12v augment power. Need if your driving pins lots,jpk

[@xero110]

Mine showed up yesterday. It's a great little device so far. The Armbian forums have kernel 6 builds up. I just can't get Armbian to boot, everything else boots fine. Armbain gives me an edless i2c timeout error.

[@JazzTechie]

I have the geekworm pi plus case and I think it’s very nice - although there’s no external GPIO access. Been thinking of cutting an opening in the side and adding a 90 degree 40 pin female header upside down. Also need buy a 1.25 mm micro JST to connect to the dedicated fan pins since the one that comes with it only fits the GPIO pins.

[@dialogue62]

There is a FAN connector on the board, right behind the ethernet ports. Could you test your fan on that connector and see if the connector provides speed control?

[@leepspvideo]

It’s a different size connection. Just positive and negative connections

[@foobarbarfoo2377]

Very good. These passive coolers allow to use the board upside down so as to cool the *M.2* down much more efficiently (now facing north for heat to move up more easily + passive cooler + optionally a 30 / 40mm cooler) as this is *this component* that really heats up significantly. Are other chipsets on the board also heating up and to what levels? on what use cases? (an IR camera can easily tell.. ) for next tests, could you please display the temperatures over time on a graph in order to have a more visual comparison of temperature curves between cooling configurations?

[@dialogue62]

When you get a PWM fan for the 5+, I would like to see your video on how you set up the fan speeds in Debian/Ubuntu.

[@maxdiamond55]

Great video. Thanks 👍🏿

[@logannosleep5]

If you ever get the time, and dont mind you should test Steams proton on the orange pi 5 plus, and see if you can run overwatch, apex, and some other esports titles... Also would there be any way to use the big heat sink with the fan on the outside of the case?

[@ppolo12]

Plus has a 5VFan header on the side of the clock one

[@johnkunze5362]

Ps. You can go ether to ether direct but i run 4op5 and 4 opi/rpi4 on a gig switch..to modem and each other. Watch to file ownership problems with naming and chown/chmod.

[@Jenkem254]

what about removing the fan of the case and use with the big one passively? the case should close, right?

[@dave7244]

It would have been better to use the thermal pad in both tests as it would have been a bit like for like with the coolers. Then with and without the case. I understand it isn't supposed to be exhaustive tests. But the thermal pad would have been roughly equivalent between the different heatsinks.

[@leepspvideo]

I figured it was obvious that the larger heat sink would perform better

[@dave7244]

@@leepspvideo Yes it is obvious it would be better. What is not obvious is by how much it would be better.

[@richardklassen1432]

What is the max temp for sink+fan for the 100 s stress test?

[@thomasbordeaux]

Can I turn off the fan when it’s off?

[@steved2882]

Would you recommend using the stock heatsink that comes with the case, or do you think the small copper heatsinks from geekworm would be better?

[@leepspvideo]

With the fan it will be fine. I prefer the larger cooler without fan for silent cooling

[@Cereal_Killr]

You can't overdue thermal paste...ive seen tests and attempts. I mean...you CAN overdue it, but without being a moron lol lay a dab, spread it and press on heatsink. Forget it and enjoy the CPU it's cooling. Another great video with great info! Thanks Leeps!

[@terrorpup]

So, isn't the fan connector on those white plugs on the board? I would think that white plug near the DDR memory would be the one for the fan.

[@MrPir84free]

Wrong size connector if I remember correctly.

[@leepspvideo]

@@MrPir84free yes I tried. It’s too small

[@vangarus]

Could you please show the speed of ai visual recognition of the orangepi5's NPU ?

[@leepspvideo]

It’s not really my thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIjId4yvrZWjn9E

[@ksoonsoon]

Will the low profile ice tower fan fit on the orange pi 5+ board? And in the new case?

[@leepspvideo]

Unfortunately the board layout is very different

[@Yousouf-zv1qw]

just ordered it and the case on alliexpress which os is best for tv box maybe some emulation ?

[@leepspvideo]

Android would be my choice

[@jimakos75]

I have the same set up with that case and 16mm cooler and fan inside. One question, with ubuntu i can turn it off from the system, but the fan dont stop, unless i take out the power cable. Is this right? Moreover, is there an alternative os for android in order to find a version that can use gpu acceleration ?

[@leepspvideo]

We could do with a pwm fan like this Raspberry Pi one Great Raspberry Pi 4 Cooling solution kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH-9ZmWOitdmia8

[@dialogue62]

Do you have your fan plugged into the project pins, or to the dedicated fan connector behind the ethernet ports?

[@leepspvideo]

@@dialogue62 gpio pins

[@jimakos75]

I have connect the fan to the gpio with 5v

[@jimakos75]

I will try it to see if it is spinning when the system is shut off thank you again

[@BersekViking]

To much. It should be as thin as possible and only fill the gaps between the CPU and the cooler.

[@m4rt100]

hi. would you like create video how to control orange pi 5 GPIO with python. thank you

[@leepspvideo]

I would use a Raspberry Pi for GPIO. Orange Pi doesn’t have much in the way of documentation for the maker side of things

[@johnkunze5362]

I see your use debian.👍 I like ubuntu more but it is quite glitchy on the 5+ (22.04/23.04). It's great on the 5 though. I'm trying to run gambas3 which works @3.18 ver on the opi5 - Ubuntu 23.04 but not on 5+ at all with ubuntu. It works well on debian 11 and gambas 3.15 on the 5+. I'm going to focus around debian for dev and work on 5+ but Ubuntu for play and study on 5. I am assembling for thumb, arm32 and arm64 with success. #32@thumb interwork but 64 needs isolation. I have not found a armxx qemu or box, just x86/64 emu. I❤️arm. 🤗👽,jpk ps my rock pi 5 crashes after about 60 hours no matter what...anyone else? All others stable over time. OS tests done...now for dev

[@OpenSource-Buddhist]

Hello, I have a problem with my root password on my Orange Pi5 running Ubuntu. I have already flashed my system 7 times using the latest image. I have tried both M2 Boot and Micro SD, but the result is always the same. It says "Password successfully changed," but unfortunately, it remains as "orangepi." I have tried the following commands: sudo -i, sudo passwd, or sudo passwd root. Do you have the same problem? lg

[@leepspvideo]

It always changed fine for me with passwd

[@OpenSource-Buddhist]

@@leepspvideo thx

[@bertrandmajorik6589]

Thermal paste has to cure for 24 hours, the computer has to be on, and kind of stressed once in a while........ to shrink the paste ....

[@chimerical26]

Pity Geekworm don't do a UK adapter.

[@leepspvideo]

I always use the official Raspberry Pi one. It never gets near 18W amzn.to/3XITDn3

[@estusflask982]

You can use any USB port that supplies 15-20W. You can even run it on a 5W USB port if you're not doing anything heavy.

[@igiigiint]

why so much attention to orange pi?

[@leepspvideo]

The Raspberry Pi 5 isn’t out until next year. I picked the Orange Pi 5 to focus on as it has great Performance for the price.

[@quademasters249]

Pi4 is underpowered compared to its peers and they're expensive now.

[@thewiirocks]

It's literally the best board on the market right now. Best performance available in the ARM space, combined with best price, means best value for your money. The Plus board is particularly good with ridiculous amounts of I/O at almost the same price as the regular.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

It's too much thermal paste.
