Cooling Fan & Aluminium Heatsink for LattePanda V1

If you know what LattePanda Boards are, and just how powerful they can be given the right circumstances and applications, then you may know that these beautiful boards can get hot, and that’s not a bad thing, because it means that the board is working to its fullest capacity and providing the unique benefits that only LattePanda boards can offer. However, while it’s good to see a LattePanda working hard, it’s also important to provide sufficient cooling for when the board needs to work hard for extended periods of time, so as to maintain a good temperature, avoid throttling from high thermals, and ultimately extend the lifespan and allow the board to operate (happily) at maximum capacity. This is why we love the idea behind this simple but effective Cooling Fan & Aluminium Heatsink for LattePanda V1.

This awesome cooling solution for the LattePanda V1 Series of boards features a 3007 cooling fan mounted directly onto a reasonably chunky aluminium plate with heat dissipation fins along the top, so as to draw heat from the CPU towards the surface of the heatsink plate, and then blow it away with active cooling. This provides a surprising level of Cooling for LattePanda boards, allowing for extended operations at high capacity and ideally an extended lifespan due to lower wear on the various different components. And while it may look rather simple at first, that’s because it is, but as simple as it might be, it’s been specially designed to be perfectly compatible, being the perfect size to cover the CPU plate and featuring the perfect level of cooling that’s “Not too hot, not too cold, but just right”. (Goldilocks would be proud!)

So if you love pushing your LattePanda to its limits, but also feel bad that it has to sweat through every minute of it, this handy cooling fan and aluminium heatsink combo for the LattePanda V1 is a great solution to keep your Panda happy and powering through the complex computing tasks that it loves to do.
