We will update the EC firmware to fix this problem.
Is there anywhere to buy just the fan? This is running seriously badly!
I have 4 of these devices. How do I update the firmware?
It is unfair for the customer if we cannot even buy a fan in case of failure.
The firmware undering test. We will release later.
The heatsink with fan is on the way, next week will be ok.
I also have a fan related oddity, it starts “jittering” (seems that its trying to start) as displayed in the video at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qXqE9sCJ8uZ0M-hCjzuPg_RSs9iD8qm-/view?usp=sharing
Also when I monitor the core temperatures in Open Hardware Monitor (https://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/) it only starts working at 60 º. But from the documentation (https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-X86J4105/#fan-is-not-turning-on), it should have started working at 45-50 º, so I’m kinda lost. Is this expected behavior? Or its something that will also fixed by the firmware update that is coming?

sorry, the fan is a bit delay, we are preparing the ordering page. We will post here while it’s ready.
Hi Bruce,
Any update on the fan? I would like to purchase because the one I have is faulty.
Hi @komorebi
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
The fan is still under some internal process before going on to sales(some factory tests and NPI processes). Once processes are done, the product will be released ASAP.
Hope this information can help you.
Best Regards,
Anson
Appreciate it!
Thanks!
Hi,
I just bought an X86J4105800 without the cooling fan. Come across this forum and I can see there’s a problem with the cooling. I’m planning to install Ubuntu, In your opinion do you thing I need a cooling fan?
I looked around (UK) and I cant find a supplier nowhere here in UK.
Any alternative retrofit cooling fan out there? Please share
Cheers
@MNU Fanless version designed for lite loading applications and long time runing. You can run applications and track the CPU temperature, if the temperature not up to 70℃, you can keep it.
Or, you can order the heatsink with fan like this one:

Many thanks Bruce.
I’m planning to use ubuntu and dev apps for light development, eg: arduino and the likes.
Thanks for suggesting fan and heat sink, I’m in UK and as I said there’s no way as far as i know to get an heat sink and fan in this country. Export duties will be more expansive than the product itself?
keep safe
Ahh, you can add in your cart and paid with others next time.
@Bruce.Qin, would it be possible to add the fanless heatsink to the store as well?
There are situations when one would want a fanless SBC instead, but needs the 64 GB eMMC version. See here for instance: Spare vanilla fanless heatsink for Odyssey X86J4105
I know the fan can be disconnected in the fan version, but the heatsink is smaller and won’t be as efficient with fan off as the true fanless version.
Sorry, didn’t hear any plan yet.
