Raspberry Pi is good a single-board Linux based computer system. But it runs OK for the most part and does not heat up if you’re not doing CPU hogging tasks.
I use my raspberry pi for watching videos. Which heats up the CPU to about 60 degrees celsius.
In Delhi, in the summer the ambient temperature is around 30 degrees celsius to about 34 degrees celsius.
In the past, I have placed a small TO-220 package heatsink on it. By placing it sideways.
I used fevicol which is a synthetic craft glue as I don’t have proper heat sink paste. But I found that fevicol glue works good and the heatsink stays quite firmly attached to the CPU.
After Placing the Heatsink the CPU temperature never goes above 50 degrees celsius. Which is a 10-degree improvement.
