the big fuck off heatsink case is here

gonna go to letterbox to get it

these thermal pads are complete garbage

falling apart so easily

cannot find the thermal paste in my house

one of the heatsink part didn't match up with the LSI controller

i pulled a book off my bookshelf the other day

and a tube of thermal paste was sitting on top of it

1080p youtube and it's holding at 40-42c

not bad

@PoliteSuka What's the heat sink for?

keeping it cool

cause Pi4 hot

Oh, Pi 4?

shame the heatsink pads are junk

I have one in the mail to replace the Pi 3 we're using as a PiHole; it's throttling our internet from the USB speed.

I got one of those fan shims or whatever they're called.

I do like how this case doesn't block the POE Hat

Apparently work better than a heat sink. Unless you got that sweet meme tower cooler.

Thought it was gonna

might just steal some from some junk gpus I have lying around

got a heap of spare old gpus ina box in my room

that might work out

What are you talking about?

salvaging some thermal pads from old gpus to pad the space of these shitty preincluded ones

I mean, almost any pasty stuff will do as long as its on thin. If nothing else, run the board bare for a while, it was built to handle it. Order some proper pads in the meantime.

Yeah, honestly, just run it bare for a bit.

Like the CPU has contact on the pad, but not the ram, and I cannot confirm the LSI controller

Gonna try rebooting with a basic overclock
1.75GHz and 600MHz GPU

use toothpaste as a temporary paste

that's actually not the worst idea

but I know I have a little tube of thermal paste somewhere

you probably brushed your teeth with it

shit u right

Lord almighty, what are you using it for that you need it all wrangled up right now?

Just wait a few days

toothpaste will last a few days
