“Not sure if these make any difference to the temp of the processor but I thought it can't hurt to future proof just in case for the price. Main reason for purchasing was the height difference and potential customisable sizes due to how small the fins are compared to others. I ended up buying 2 and cutting one of them down to fit on the smaller Ethernet chip. Its slightly short by a few mm's all around the base but so much cheaper then buying dedicated heatsink kits (which I couldn't find for the smaller 6mm heights) I bought black ones to match my pibow audio case so I used a permanent marker to colour in where I'd cut the heatsink down.”
“Was so nice install it, was so simple, i thought i need some glue or thermal paste but not was necessary, 1. just unpackaged, 2. remove the paper, 3 paste into the raspberry pi processor. DONE, NOW SO COOL THERE.”
“These tiny heatsinks are super value. I bought 2 of them one each for a pi2 and a pi3. There is a noticeable difference in the reduction of CPU temperature, especially on the media serving pi2.”
“As heat sinks go this is by far the most awesome. It doesn't the job well, keeps my pi cool and along with the ninja coupe case for my RPi 3 it really finishes the look off. And before, it got attached it got passed round the department at work (IT services). It's fanatic hearing fully grown IT Tech's "awww" over the cutest hear sink ever!”
“Get a 6mm one, as the 7.5mm, which was available at the time I bought it, it may interfere with HAT boards as described here.
Maybe you won't use it at first, but it is future proof.”
“very easy to apply to your pi, and for a pound it is super cheap and well supported with the pi bow case, also looks awesome for a heat sink, I'm impressed, and might buy more for my other many pis”
