The CPU board + this PWR board can do with passive cooling only. That CPU is roughly 1.8 watts during 'normal' op (3watts max e.g during full HD playback). Just a heat-sink and it cope well. Similar to those high performance tablet basically.

That built-in AMP idea is indeed an ambitious idea lolll That might need active cooling but nothing as serious as 3x fans. Class-D amp are pretty efficient, that's they're advantage. We'll see, haven't got to the amp yet - i still don't know and can't wait to find out.

This Class-d amp thing will need to be better than our 20y/old Porsche oem amp (which I'm 100% it is loll) before going ahead with this idea. Might just leave it as is and re-use Porsche's amp kit. Who knows....
