For the Raspberry Pi 3, the processor held 1.2GHz up to 80C, and then throttled back to hold ~80C. The faster processor, though, is a bit of an interesting case. Plus, there’s the nice mental heat spreader over top, helping cool hot spots on the chip. The board is thicker and heavier from upgraded internal power/ground planes, which helps spread heat, preventing the chip from clocking down as much as on the Pi 3. This replaced the Raspberry Pi 3, and included a number of very nice improvements - gigabit ethernet, 5GHz wireless, slightly faster RAM, a new power supply on the board, an improvement in processor clock speeds and, most excitingly, radically improved thermal behavior. On Pi Day, 2018 (March 14, or 3.14), the Raspberry Pi foundation announced the latest and greatest Raspberry Pi - the Raspberry Pi 3B+.
#Flirc case raspberry software#
My Raspberry Pi 3B+ can build the Linux kernel at 1.4GHz without even hitting 50C! Can yours do that? Plus, the fan is automatically controlled by some software and the GPIO pins - which, in addition to saving a (tiny) bit of power, just looks cool when the fan comes on automatically. As is often the case in my lab, what started as “messing around” turned into something far more exciting: This contraption! I have no idea what to call it, but it’s pretty cool (running)! It does a really good job with the 3B+ as well - but it didn’t keep things quite as cool as I wanted.
It’s slightly more expensive than the “Moster” heatsink case I used, but it’s a good bit better at cooling a Raspberry Pi 3. What I missed, though, was an even better case on the market that does an even better job with cooling - the FLIRC case. We know you will love the attention to detail we put in throughout the case.Earlier in 2018, I did some experiments related to the Raspberry Pi 3 thermal behavior under load, and I found a case that worked reasonably well to keep it cool. GPIO pins are accessible through the slot on the bottom of the case and there is no need for disassembly to get to the SD card. In addition to the built in heat sink, small ventilation slots on the bottom help keep the Raspberry Pi cool. We included rubber feet to raise the enclosure so it just hovers underneath your television. It only takes seconds to drop your Raspberry Pi into it’s amazing new home and show it off on your counter top. Supplied with the case is a thermal pad and 4 screws for the simplest Raspberry Pi case assembly on the market. We wanted to ensure we didn’t sacrifice form over function, so we used the aluminum housing of the case to provide a built in heat sink. This is the first affordable Raspberry Pi case made out of aluminum. But once it's out of your hands, it blends in with your entertainment system. Our case is made of a beautiful aluminum core heat sink that is sandwiched between two black, soft touch shells that feel amazing in your hands. We will ensure our case is adjusted to fit the latest Raspberry Pi specifications. The perfect home for your new Raspberry Pi 4.
