ex-parrotI didn’t make any measurements before either but I’m loading up the CPU now to see what happens 05:47
ex-parrotI swapped out the thermal goop for a thermal pad too, just for easier maintenance 05:47
ex-parrot(And to use up some thermal pads…05:48
chartreuseNice just saw your tweet, I changed out the thermal paste as well when I took it off06:09
chartreuseYou should be able to feel the heat on the back center edge as it warms up06:10
chartreusemntmn: Related to the discussion above about the bluetooth adapters, if there's ever a second motherboard revision, perhaps a second usb hub could be added? Add the usb lane to the miniPCIe slot, as well as perhaps another two internal USB headers like the keyboard and mouse use06:13
chartreuseJust for expandability/hacking.06:14
ex-parrotI’ve had the CPU at 100% for half an hour and it seems to have stabilised at 48ish degrees 06:17
ex-parrot46 on the other thermal zones 06:17
ex-parrotWhich seems perfectly adequate to me, doubly for a fanless system 06:18

chartreuseYeah, IIRC mine before could go into the mid 50s06:21
ex-parrotGood job us 06:22
dopplerI believe mine stabilizes in the mid-50s even under light to medium load06:22
dopplerneat stuff06:22
ex-parrotI wonder if a thermal pad might work better for the main CPU interface too because the aluminium surface isn’t totally smooth either 06:22
ex-parrotThe pad may fill in the gaps better? Idk I guess I could have been more scientific about this :P06:23
chartreuseI don't think it would though, they have worse characteristics than paste06:23
chartreuseWhat I did was spread paste on the heatsink first to fill the gaps06:23
ex-parrotNormally yeah 06:23
chartreuseBasically rub it in the smooth the surface out with a fine amount of paste06:24
ex-parrotthe pad I used is one of the ones PC Engine uses for their APU2s so it should be able to dissipate enough heat at least 06:24
chartreuseI used Arctic MX-4 since I didn't want to use a conductive paste06:24
chartreuseI think the fanless sealed in enclosure is more of the issue than the interface06:24
ex-parrotDefinitely 06:25
ex-parrotI prefer the pad because I don’t feel like re-pasting it every time I take off the hewrsink too 06:25
chartreuseThe thermal pads to the case will improve the performance by letting some radiate outside06:25
chartreuseYou can always give it a try, though I feel the paste will do better, even with the rough surface06:25
ex-parrotSeems fine so far at least 06:25
chartreuseThe other "downside" with the current method is the lack of pressure on the top left06:25
ex-parrotI suspect you’re right 06:25
chartreuseSo when I was testing with the paste I noticed that side didn't have anywhere near as much contact pressure06:26
chartreuseThough was able to tweak it a bit to get it at least even on the right side06:26

vkoskivSo if reform ships from Germany, why does the order page apply the really expensive 24% Finnish VAT when ordering?20:01
vkoskivMight be a dumb Q, but my understanding is that it should be under German VAT there.20:02

vkoskivmntmn: I interrupt your day to summon you (again) :D20:28
vkoskivDownloading the IRC logs and grepping for VAT now20:30
vkoskivIt's a bit confusing that the order page tacks on that 24% though, no?20:32
Lewis[m]If you’re purchasing from Finland, you would pay Finnish VAT afaik20:56
Lewis[m]It’s (mostly) based on the location of the consumer, not the supplier20:57
vkoskivInteresting. It's not *that* much higher than the 19% VAT in germany20:57
vkoskivBut usually when ordering stuff from germany, it's german VAT that is applied20:57
vkoskivMaybe it's a loophole that's been closed20:58
vkoskivI know mindfactory stopped shipping to individuals in finland a number of years back. Now they ship only if you're a business20:58
mntmnvkoskiv: you would need to talk to crowd supply about these things i'm afraid21:16
vkoskivWill do21:36
vkoskivThe extra 5% VAT isn't a dealbreaker, though.21:37

vkoskivCrowd supply had a helpful page with info: https://www.crowdsupply.com/guide/fulfillment-and-logistics23:11
vkoskivTL;DR: Target country VAT is applied. As far as I understand23:11
