How do you attach a heatsink to a Raspberry Pi?
Put the heat sink (with the thin blue film removed) on the correct chip of your Raspberry Pi. Make sure to align the heat sink nicely with the chip so that it covers all the chip areas nicely. Then, press down on the heatsink firmly so that the glue is attached to the chip nicely.
Where does heat sink go on Raspberry Pi?
Heat sinks should be installed at least on the two main components of the Raspberry Pi: the CPU and the LAN Chip. Some kits also provide a heat sink to put on the back of the Raspberry Pi.
Do you need heatsink on Raspberry Pi?
3 Answers. No a heatsink is not required, The Pi3 has been reported to generate more heat than previous models, but the heatsink is not required. You can install it for some extra thermal protection, but the Pi will throttle the clock speed to maintain a safe temperature.
Does Raspberry Pi 4 need a fan?
The Pi 4 needs a fan
A heatsink installed inside the Pi 4's official case will do precious little to avoid throttling the CPU (and likely other components, as they all get very hot).
