RE: SMRAZA Raspberry Pi case; modifying for the Rock 64

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Nice!
How did you mount the coolers on the Rock? I'm a bit sceptical with glue-thermal-paste and am using just normal thermal paste on my pi.
Also do you have some temperature comparisons and a price for this case?

Sort:  

For the heat-sinks I just used the supplied thermal tape that comes with them, they get hot so they must be doing something; the black heat-sink was supplied with the case, I had already got the silver CPU heatsink from Pine with the Rock 64 board.

Using

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp

the board was reporting about 77C before the assembly, and about 50C after, so thats a pretty good improvement. I got the case from Amazon UK for just under £10.

I would say just good luck for the future.
