My H96 Pro Plus also can

Lazada back in November

Definitely better because maximum display resolution is 4K 60Hz.
It's faster, bigger flash (32GB) and bigger RAM (3GB).
I've been using since Nov, so far no problem.

H96 Pro + Lazada

I own both Minix X8h (3 years) and newly acquired S912 H96 Pro Plus 3/32 gb. Minix is very reliable, whereas the other one still need time to tell. But thedifferences between S912 and the older neo u1 are hugh!

If u want to stick with minix, wait for u9

Yup, mine is the even older minix x8h but still perform well. I rarely shut it down!

Guys, what's your processor's thermal reading? Mine fluctuates between 50 - 70 depending the usage. I thought that's pretty high and might harm the box in the long term. Though I understood the processors are built to withstand high temperature.

Nevertheless I modified a bit my H96 Pro Plus cooling system by replacing the rather small original heat sink with a bigger one.

Now the temperature fluctuate between 38 - 51 only

Without heat sink? Then thank god you check it!

Processors nowadays are quite robust then

I put a suction type cooling fan on top of the box (of course need couple of holes drilled)

Yup, like my old Minix X8 H plus, switched on 24/7 without fail!

Decent brand like Minix & Himedia are well built and also have good support like firmware upgrade. Of course they're a bit pricey. But not necessarily means it can play more files. I would say they'll cause less trouble compare to others.

If you want some adventures, buy a relatively expensive unbranded one like the one I bought recently, Alfawise H96 Pro+. I would say it's a good box, causing me no trouble so far after almost 3 months. Of course time will tell if it'll live up to my expection like my existing three year old Minix, which I let it switched on 24/7.

I'm using 3gb ram box as well. In kodi setting I set it to 500mb (after multiplied by 3 of course). So far 4K play smoothly

Yup advancedsettings.xml
I'm on 50 kodi 16.1, stick to this because of audio passthrough

I just leave it 24/7.
