A: A: No. The X1208 uses the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe connector, which is also required by the official Raspberry Pi AI HAT. Since the PCIe interface is already occupied by the X1208, the AI HAT cannot be installed simultaneously.

Q1: Does X1208 support passive heatsinks?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: The X1208 is designed to fit the official active cooler. Most third-party heatsinks are '''taller than the official cooler''', so they cannot fit within the original height limit.
If you still want to use a passive heatsink, here are two options:

|Pros & Cons
|-
|✅ Recommended
|Use '''[[H502]] copper heatsink''' and cut a small part of its bottom to make room for the pogo pins
|All functions work (including safe shutdown). Minimal modification needed.
|-
|⚠️ Alternative
|Add GPIO header between X1208 and Pi 5 to create more height for a taller heatsink
|Pogo pins '''cannot''' reach the Pi 5 → safe shutdown will '''NOT''' work. You will also need a longer FFC cable.
