HTPC Development Kit
The Khadas VIM3L HTPC Kit bundles a development board with a heatsink, transparent case, metal plate, IR remote and two Wi-Fi antennas. CoreELEC with Kodi comes pre-installed for immediate media-centre use. It targets hobbyists who want a compact, ready-to-assemble platform for home-theatre projects.
Passive Cooling Capacity
The included New VIM Heatsink provides enough passive cooling for Android and CoreELEC workloads. The supplier notes that adding the 3705 Cooling Fan is recommended when running Linux or other third-party distributions. A thermal pad for the metal plate is offered as an optional accessory for extra heat dissipation.
Media Playback Scope
The board handles standard media-centre duties such as Kodi playback and IR remote control out of the box. High-fidelity audio formats including DSD, WAV and FLAC require the separate Tone Board VIMs Edition, which is not included. Buyers who need that DAC functionality or sustained Linux performance should plan for additional hardware.

Questions about this item
How does the pre-installed CoreELEC (Kodi) software affect the out-of-the-box experience?
The board arrives with CoreELEC already loaded, so it boots straight into the Kodi media interface without any extra flashing or configuration steps.
What connectivity options do the two included Wi-Fi antennas provide?
The pair of external antennas attach to the board to give wireless network access for streaming and remote control use.
What parts are required to assemble the transparent DIY case?
The kit supplies the clear case shell, a metal plate, the new VIM heatsink and an IR remote; you simply fasten the board to the plate, fit the heatsink, then close the case.
