Raspberry Pi 3B+ Heatsink Pack

The world of heat in Electronics is always quite a peculiar subject, because heat technically allows for higher levels of efficiency, but can also become detrimental as the temperature rises and parts like CPUs become too efficient and burn themselves out. This is typically referred to as thermal runaway – which used to be a relatively common topic in the world of 3D Printing – and more often than not results in catastrophic failure and burning components if there’s no system in place to prevent it. With this in mind, it’s actually quite good to have components run at reasonably hot temperatures, but can be a risky game to play as you need to keep the temperatures from rising too high, and that’s where Cooling Solutions like these handy little Raspberry Pi Heatsinks come in to play, as these provide effective passive cooling to keep components from getting too hot, while still allowing for them to reach temperatures that help with efficiency.

This Raspberry Pi 3B+ Heatsink Pack is a simple but very effective set of passive cooling units that require very minimal effort in order to provide great cooling effect, and can simply be stuck onto the CPU, LAN and Memory chips to keep them operating efficiently but within a safe temperature range. They are passive by design, which means there are no moving parts (or annoying maintenance) at all, and they work by simply drawing the heat away from the hot parts and up towards the cooling fins, where natural heat radiation can take place and radiate it into the surrounding air. This can dramatically help with throttling issues and LAN connectivity on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, while requiring no extra effort or replacements once installed.

So if you love keeping your Pi safe and operating at its best, but don’t want to hassle with potential noisy Cooling Fans or having to source replacement parts, then this handy little heatsink pack is an ideal option for you. Furthermore, these can also be enhanced further with active cooling to complement the passive cooling, helping to remove the heat that gathers in the heatsink fins and keeping your Pi even cooler for even higher levels of performance.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
