Sorry for the late reply. Try bending the fins. or use a very small wrench, or even very grippy precision tweezers. They are a bit of a pain but it’s really the only hard part. ---

@Jan_Albert 🙂 And ? How is your experience? Better /Faster /More responsive?? Did you also expand the Partition to 32GB ? Did you put back the hood/top if the Homey Pro? Or is it now a cabriolet “special edition” Homey Pro 23 like mine? ---

Homey now uses 2.2 Gb out of 8.2. So my memory usage was to the limit. Every 24 hours my homey crashed and restarted automatically. It needs a week to say if it is now more stable or not. Devices seem more responsive. I did not expand the partition (yet). I do not need extra storage. The cpu temp is below 54 degrees, same as before the modding. No need to let the box open. ![1000049732](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c608e88f035a50eea0a31b9a739de2164baf27a4.jpeg) Homey is definitely much faster. My (large) homescreen opens in stead of after a few seconds now within a second. ---

Hi, I am planning to upgrade the CM4 of Homey Pro 2023 to the 8/32GB version. Question: how thick should the new thermal pads be when using the same cooling body from the original 2023? ---

> [@Bernd\_Gaykema](#): > > how thick should the new thermal pads be I used 1,5 mm for the CPU and 2,5 mm for the PSU. My Homey (with 8/32GB) is still at about the same temperature as with the old CM4; about 57º C with the original heatsink. Hasn’t been above 58º C since I replaced the CM4. ---

I used 1mm thermal pad for cpu and reused the 3mm pad for one chip and 1,5 mm for another chip. Temp always below 55 degrees. ![1000050204](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/f/8ff671aca1d925156ede36ec322235b983847bbd.jpeg) ---

My Amazon.nl package/order (see link above) came with 5 or 6 new roze thermal pads and heatsink included. Ik used/installed all of them and not only these two like the original ![image1.jpeg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/f/afa51a6c7300550ed6a7958fd4062e5e25c5722e.jpeg) So every surface of these 4 other “chips” would also have a thermal pad to touch the original heatsink.

I tried to upgrade my Pro to 8GB last weekend. It all went as expected until the newly upgraded Homey started. I could access the Homey from App, Delveloper and Web, but I discovered that there was no sign of IP addresses for Ethernet Adapter or for Wifi on the Homey Pro. Also, I had no Z-wave. Tried resetting the Homey Pro, reinstalling firmware and restoring backup serveral times, but still no network or Z-wave. I then switched back to the old Compute module and everything was back in place. Performed a new local backup plus a cloud backup and repeated the process for switching Compute module. Still the same problem. With the new Compute module, I can get the yellow light and connect to computer or Mac, but I cannot use the 8-second or 30-second reset functions. When I have the blue light, I cannot find a new device - even when the Homey can be seen from my local network. My Homey Pro: Utilizing 1,85GB RAM homeyVersion “12.10.1” 48 Z-wave devices 51 Zigbee devices | | | --- | Any ideas of what to check next? ---

There was no sign of IP in Homey info, but I could access Homey from computer and App. Both Wifi and Ethernet was enabled and available from my LAN.
