You don't need the extra 4 pins! You can plug a 20 pin into a 24 pin socket no problem, and it'll work 99% of the time. The extra 4 pins are almost always just wired in parallel to other 12v and ground pins. Check continuity between the extra 4 pins and other 12v/0v if you would like to confirm. Losing the extra wires would be a problem on an Intel 14900k, but for the amount of amps that Rock-5-ITX is pulling it makes literally no difference. Edit: My apologies, it's a +12v, +5v, +3v3 and ground that you get. Doesn't matter, you still don't need them.
I tried the 20-pin. With a lot of pushing it did fit, but... it doesn't work. No idea why those don't work and my 600W PSU does. I rather use such a small one. Now put it back in the case and put the PSU next to it. Not ideal but happy it works.
Hi. This sbc can run waydroid on touchscreen monitor connected to usb-c port? I'm pretty curious about android gaming, also steam support via box64. Is possible to run egpu on this computer? Eventually you can compare armbian with arch linux with same desktop?
I used a copper shim to make the contact. Mine also didn't touch. Now it doesn't go over 55C after 30 minutes maxed out without fan. Seems Radxa made a mistake in the cpu hight to be compatible.
I don't know/think that's LGA115x. It also would be overkill. I'm using this cooler without the fan and doesn't go over 55C. You do need a copper shim in between to make contact with the soc. www.amazon.com.be/dp/B0D2GYZ528?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
The lack of maturity and all round performance of the RK3588, after all this time is pitiful. The introduction of the Radxa X4, with the Intel N100 may well shake things up and decimate the RK3588 and even RPI5 market, especially as this move will almost force other manufacturers to put out similar and expanded products.
N100 needs active cooling so makes noise. Consumes 3-4x more than RK3588. Is a lot less powerful CPU wise. Only for gaming N100 is better. I know what I choose...
I thought the performance of the RK3588 was quite good. I don't get the lack of maturity comment. Maybe some of the extra silicon like the NPU, but all of the core functionality works quite well.

The 20-pin connector doesn't seem to fit. I tried it. But I can try again. Thanks.

Do you have orange pi, banana pi or smthng? Id love to see a review of them
I reviewed the OrangePi5+.

Many others too, no BPi.
Wondering if you ever consult on SBC design? I need someone with your expertise and would love to pay you to consult. Thanks, Anne
Yeah there an official rad a one but don’t think it’s for sale yet I just put an heatsink on mine for now

What heatsink fan did you get ? I bought one but it didn’t touch the cpu, so sent it back

Do you know if an amd wraith prism could work with this sbc?

@@NicoDsSBCs ik its overkill, but its the only thing i got around unused, thx for the response

@@joels7605 I think the lack of maturity comment is because the lack of preinstalled gpu drivers support as they are not opensource
