There are heatsinks available. For what are they needed?

The only reason to use a heatsink is in a contrived situation where you wish to override the safeguards on the Pi and run a particularly resource intensive benchmarking program or game which would other wise run too slow.
My advice to those people is to get a faster machine. A pony isn't a racehorse, no matter how many oats you feed it

They are like adding flames to your car. They make it "cooler". XDJustCurious wrote:There are heatsinks available. For what are they needed?
