I think if we could have a larger copper shield and then have it 0.5mm thicker where the Atom Soc is to have contact with that. Then a thermal pad to connect with the rear housing we could move even more heat away from the SoC. My tablet with the 20mm x 20mm 1mm thin mod It did doesn’t throttle at all now. 80 degrees max when gaming and pushing the tablet hard. It’s very quick and snappy in Windows. Only gaming and that 12 EU GPU gets it up to 80 degrees otherwise it will never pass around 62 degrees and will hold 2.4 Ghz on all 4 cores. I now think this is partly a bios issue, the chipset is meant to have a short turbo duration and then clock down after it’s short burst. But for some reason mine will sit and hold at 2.24Ghz the whole time. Looking at the Z3736F it will never turbo on all cores at the max speed. Only single threads for a little while. Watching the clocks in CPU-Z I think a bios update to limit the boost time limit would fix both the heat and battery life without reducing the overall performance too much. Not even my Surface 3 would turbo at 2.4Ghz for as long as the X98 Pro.
How big is the shield roughly? I may do your mod, but add the copper shield intead of the aluminum, or eliminate shield altogether, and use ram heatsink which should help. If i can get this thing to stay under 80, i will be happy. I think you have a driver issue for the cores, I dont think mine stay turbo’d as long as yours.
