I've finally found a purpose for my Tinkerboard that works: my own personal Terraria server
.
I got a little pi case for it with a little fan, it's pretty cute.
And here's my server rack where the server sits, next to my NAS.
I set up a script to regularly log the cpu/gpu temps as well, as I don't think the Tinkerboard has proper passive cooling or throttling.
I found that the fan only knocks off a few degrees, but that's better than nothing.
Idling with the server open but nobody in it, it runs at about32-40°C 21-40°C. When 1 person is in the server, it jumps to 40-52°C. I have yet to log temperature when 2 people are in it, though last time it ran flawlessly the entire time. It runs the same with 2 people 
I wonder what else this red-headed step child of arm microcontrollers can do (successfully).
