Description
Keep your Raspberry Pi 3 cool with this high-quality Aluminum Heat Sink. Measuring 14 x 14 x 8 mm, this heat sink is designed to efficiently dissipate heat from your Raspberry Pi 3's main chip, helping to maintain optimal performance during heavy use.
Features include:
- Constructed from high-quality aluminum for excellent heat dissipation
- Dimensions: 14.0mm x 13.8mm x 8.2mm (0.6" x 0.5" x 0.3")
- Lightweight at just 1.8 grams
- Thermal adhesive pre-applied for quick, easy installation
- Enhances performance by allowing the Pi 3 to run at higher clock speeds under load
Installation is straightforward: clean the chip surface, peel off the protective film from the adhesive, and press the heat sink firmly onto the chip. Although compatible with various Raspberry Pi models, it is best suited for the Raspberry Pi 3, which tends to run hotter.
Note that while not mandatory, this heat sink can improve your Raspberry Pi 3's performance by approximately 14% by preventing thermal throttling during intensive CPU usage.
