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. | A: A: No. The X1208 uses the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe connector, which is also required by the official Raspberry Pi AI HAT.

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: | |||

|✅ 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. | |||
