New Raspberry Pi 4

[Brian Beuken]

Been having a few issues with overheating on my Pi4, not unexpected really as I tend to push the GPU quite hard,but I've also been experimenting with the CPU and multi threading it a lot which really piles in the degrees, getting well over 76-80deg and throttling back. I only had a simple passive cpu sized heat sink on it, so that was not really going to do the job once the cpu was pushed.
A nice 10euro aluminium case with twin fans though as really made a huge difference, even at max load and 4 full cores and GPU shifting full screen displays.. never goes above 55 now, mostly hovers around 50.
No need for some of the extreme cooling sytems I've seen, unless you're into all the see how I can cook my CPU overclocking nonsense. just a good heat conductive case and a quiet fan.

When its cooled well the beast is tamed and very reponsive
