“Bought this in conjunction with the Coupé Ninja case, and while I'm happy with how the case looks and how the heatsink performs, I have to take one star off for the video instructions: I slotted the heatsink in as instructed, but once it was stuck down I realised it abupted the GPIO pins, rather than the case (see picture). I'm not using the GPIO pins so it's not a big deal, but since the heatsink is so sticky I could imagine this could case me or someone else grief in the future.”
“I have this on a RPi 4 running Homeassistant, wit a standard case. It's generally at around 42C compared with the 50+ that it was previously at with a smaller sink.”
“Works with "most hats" which does NOT include the official PoE hat! I inserted female headers to raise the PoE hat, after which it no longer fits in the case I bought.
I was initially a bit concerned that they use a basic sticker rather than a thermal pad, but the board now idles at 50 C with the PoE fan curve adjusted so it doesn't turn on except under load.
So all in all a bit sketchy, but it achieved the desired result: no fan noise while idle”
