−Zynthian V5 gets a 25% extra power from the RPi4 by overclocking the CPU up to 2 GHz. For this to work properly, we need to remove the heat generated by the RPi4's components. As we don't want a noisy fan, prone to failure, pushing dust inside our nice case, we are using the aluminum case as a huge heat-sink. This is achieved by the thermal block, a solid aluminum block that closely contacts with the RPi4's chips and serves as a heat-highway to the aluminum case bottom, and from there, to the rest of the aluminum case. When your zynthian V5 is working hard, or when external temperature is high enough, you will note the V5 case getting hot. This is good because it means the thermal block is doing its job of transferring heat from the inside to the aluminum case body, where it's dissipated to the ambient environment.

+'''7.''' Before installing the "RPi5 + thermal block" assembly in the main board, you must fold the display cable adequately, so it goes in the right direction. You must fold it twice, putting attention to the pictures and using your "common sense". The first fold is straight and the second one is at 45º, so you get the cable going out the RPi5 with the text "Display-cable-200mm" on the down side. We show several pictures from different angles. Zoom in as needed until you have clear how to proceed. Take your time and think twice to do once.

+{{NoteBox|Probably you are thinking that we could use longer cables so these final steps would be easier. And you are right, it would be easier to assemble, but the resulting device wouldn't be so good. Longer cables means more EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference). The DSI signal coming out the RPi is specially noisy and although the DSI cable we use already include some EMI shielding, the audio circuitry is close, just a few centimeters, and we prefer to reduce EMI to the minimum. Think that you assemble your zynthian once, but you (hopefully!) will use it for years and i'm pretty sure you want the highest quality of sound, so it's worth the extra effort to connect shorter cables.}}
