This is an active+passive cooling solution for Vivid Unit, with name “VCOOL”. The Aluminum panel acts as a circuit board for driving the mini blower fan, as well as a huge heatsink for Vivid Unit. The mini blower is controlled by the software, which keeps monitoring the CPU and GPU temperature and control the fan speed accordingly. The diagram below demonstrates how it works.
The pictures below shows how the kit look like:
On its product page you can find the steps to assembly this kit.
To install the software:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vcool
You may customize the strategy of how to drive the fan by modifying the /var/log/vcool.log file.
This kit can be ordered from UUGear e-shop.
