So i've been thinking, based on the GPIO layout that is used on the pi 2, I can see that there are 2 5v outputs and one ground. Is there a way that I could connect one of those larger 10v DC fans to the raspberry pi instead of this small and noisy 5v fans?. The goal of this would be to increase airf...

WOW, Thanks for all the replies guys, I havnt been on the forums for a while and when I checked this post again i saw that I had gotten 38 replies! I read all of the information you guys gave me and, found found a decently priced bundle that came with a case, heat syncs, and a fan. I have to say tha...

Ok, I formatted the SD card using the default program on mac which does allow to format 32GB and bigger to FAT32. I made sure that the micro sd card was formatted to FAT32 by pressing "Get info", It told me it was FAT32, so I dragged the files inside of the folder again and popped it into ...

Start again by writing a micro-SD card from scratch. If there is nothing on your current one that you are desperate to salvage, use it. Otherwise get another card and hope to retrieve files from the first once the RPi2 is working again. I found the problem many months ago, it was that the power sup...

Recently I bought a new samsung 64 GB sd card to replace the old 8gb card I had. I wanted to start fresh and with other operating systems so I downloaded: NOOBS LITE Network install only Version: 1.5 Release date:2015-11-21 I extracted the zip file, and opened the unzipped folder, I then formatted t...

So I've been thinking, I'm planning on using my pi 2 on the maximum setting for overclocking 24/7. And based on what I've observed so far, the pi does get pretty hot :oops: at maximum processing power. Now, I don't own a case yet for my pi, and i do plan on getting one and, most of the cases i've se...
