Cooling for Raspberry PI 3B

Wed May 06, 2020 8:23 am

Today, after installing a Windows 10 IOT, my pi heated a lot. I tried to install the heatsink, not that good. If I use oil to cool my Pi, what happens? Not mineral oil. I want to use a fan as possible, but shipments gonna take decades :lol:
Sorry for my grammar,

heatsink and fan is a good combination

The Raspberry Pi does not need a Heatsink or Fan, it will automatically thermal throttle way before destruction happens !

Does the same behaviour occur with Raspbian Buster ??
Rather than negativity think outside the box !
RPi 4B 4GB (SSD Boot)..
Asus ChromeBox 3 Celeron is my other computer...
