Raspberry Pi 4 Heatsink Pack – Black Aluminium

Electronics and heat have always had a curious relationship and Tinkerers are often striking careful balances between them. 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 thermal runaway leads to catastrophic failure and burning components, not to mention a very sad day when a Maker loses their precious Raspberry Pi. With this tendency to still run components at reasonably high temperatures for peak efficiency, Cooling Solutions like these handy little Raspberry Pi Heatsinks become crucial accessories for Makers.

The Raspberry Pi 4 Heatsink Pack is a set of four black aluminium heatsinks that provide effective passive cooling to keep components from getting too hot, while still allowing for them to reach temperatures that help with efficiency. These four simple units require very minimal effort in order to provide a great cooling effect. Using their adhesive backings, you can easily stick each heatsink over the CPU, RAM chip, USB and Ethernet controllers of your Raspberry Pi 4. Heatsinks utilise natural heat dissipation by drawing the heat away from the hot parts and up towards the cooling fins where it radiates into the surrounding air. This can dramatically help with throttling issues and LAN connectivity on the Raspberry Pi 4, 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 with active cooling to compliment 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.
