Excessive heating hi10x

Windows Tablets Hi10 X

Hello, I noticed that the device, while using apps like Skype and Zoom, gets very hot. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hello, I was wondering if you got a solution to the excessive overheating. Iā€™m also worried because mine overheats as in too hot to touch but thatā€™s even when I use it for simple tasks.

There is little to do, it heats a lot especially with video call apps, one thing will lower the power of use of the processor as already suggested

I really donā€™t recommend doing this, but I modified my Hi10XR by replacing the thermal pad between the chassis and the copper heatsink with a thermal paste enough to fill the air between them. Temps went down considerably (and slightly even better with my phone/tablet cooler fan).

I am interested in buying the hi10 x; is overheating a common issue? does everyone has this issue?

Not really common, but it gets noticeably hotter than my Ubook Pro with the same use. This is of course plain physics: The exact same hardware that uses the exact same power envelope in a much smaller chassis will accumulate heat faster. There is one corner specifically (where the CPU is) on the Hi10 X that can get pretty hot to the touch. Which is of course only a problem when used in tablet/hand-holding mode.

I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s actually ā€œoverheatingā€ or anything, it rarely throttles and Iā€™ve never had it getting too hot to hold. I think of that hot corner mostly as the device casing doing its job as giant metal heatsink. Iā€™m pretty sure the material is also more heat conductive than the casing on the Ubook Pro.

Itā€™s doesnā€™t get that hot if you stay on the 6W power limit, which is the default. It gets hot quick if you used the overclock program here.

i wanted to add that you can add something like a 1mm copper plate or coin to bridge the gap and help the thermal paste conduct heat from the heatsink to the chassis.

i took inspiration from this video but didnā€™t follow the exact steps. not advised for inexperienced people or if you donā€™t want the device to die along with all your files and the money you spent. doing this will also void your warranty, and I am not liable for any damages or changes.

Sorry but it does. I am not overclocking and it gets very left hand side. Unacceptably hot.
