Fixing poor cooling




The ZBOX CI320 nano is powered by a passively-cooled Celeron N2930, a 7.5W TDP Bay Trail processor. The diminutive PC launched in 2014 but was plagued by heat problems. Just looking at the weird and convoluted cooling solution makes us uncomfortable. The small internal heat sink suffocates inside a not-so-convection-friendly chassis. Simply adding a stock Intel cooler on top of the thermal pad and ditching the case fixes everything.
