Kintaro Custom Aluminum Raspberry Pi Cooling Heatsink – Single Board Computer Kit Includes Heat Sink, Thermal Compound Paste and Screws - (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+)

Best heatsink period for getting the most out of your system. Couple this heatsink with a fan and it will never overheat! So long as you leave openings for this thing to breath.

Works great!! My Raspberryi 3B+ was running at between 60C to 68C without this heat sink. With the heat sink it runs between 47C to 57C, without any fan.

Heatsink works great at keeping my rpi3B cool. Will be referring my friends to this seller. Seller included a bonus with my order. 6 stars!

Your Review

While thermal throttle (80c) happens pretty quickly on the pi 3B+ without a heat sink, a lot of people don't know there's a soft throttle going on between 60-70c as well, lowering CPU speeds to 1,2Ghz. With a small heat sink, the Pi3B+ hits 60C in no time, but usually can take up to about 1 minute before hitting 70C in a case (doing a CPU stress test).This heat sink, still hits 70C thermal throttle inside a case, but the time to get there is significantly longer.About 3 to 4 minutes, to be precise doing a CPU stress test,About the same results with glxgears.Which makes this sink your go-to for normal file transfers, and program loads.Not suited for gamers or prolonged stress test situations inside a case.The good thing is, my case has a 3.5" LCD screen built in, and the heat sink fits in just perfectly fine inside with the LCD!Amazon Product: B07N38B86SOut of a case, with a screen hat, the temperature seems to level off at around 67C vertical, and 70C horizontal (screen facing up) in about 6 minutes in a 77F room, which will definitely be performing worse than with no hat.

Fits perfectly and has amazing thermal specs. Tried like hell to max it out and barely got 60C with NO FAN. This heatsink is amazing for the RasPi 3

The heatsink itself is very nice, however it doesn't appear to have been made with the official Raspberry Pi case in mind.The screws appear to be too large, and when I attempted to install it--requiring me to torque it down rather hard, it stripped and otherwise ruined the case. Not a huge loss, but to add insult to injury, I overlooked the fact that I could have purchased a sweet-looking case for an extra $5.As note to the seller, while thermal grease is probably optimal, given the nature of this product, it probably would better off it used pre-applied thermal pads instead.

very stylish, much wowgreat case, would recommendslider 'buttons' work great
