HeatsinkClamp

Heatsink clamp for Orange Pi PC 14x14mm main SOC heatsink. Goes around main header and USB connector.

Orange PI PC has a powerful 4+1+1 processor SOC (4 ARM + 1 GPU + 1 openrisc). However without heatsink it is limited to 720 MHz, or rather 480 MHz, especially in an enclosure, which throttles cores, and stops processing.

A properly attached heatsink enables full performance at 1080 MHz and lasts up to 15 years, i.e. significantly longer than the basic thermal glue's cca. 4 years. Note, that thermal glues typically have a lower conductivity than thermal pastes.

Running without heatsink impedes performance, and causes much shorter lifetime.
