The Raspberry Pi 3 is the ultimate candidate in the race for small computers, and for logical reasons, it has already seen great competitors less than a week after its launch. However, this little thing is pretty powerful compared to its predecessor, which gives it an advantage.

Indeed, if the new mini-computer Raspberry Pi 3 has the same size and the same price as the Raspberry Pi 2, the new model has a better processor, able to offer better performance, up 60% compared its predecessor.
Unfortunately, while it is much more powerful, the Raspberry Pi 3 releases much more heat. While this may not be a problem for some tasks, Phoronix has recently pushed the small computer to its limits by running a series of benchmarks and noticed that it gets much hotter than its predecessor when subjected to high stresses.
Naturally, this has led to an overheating problem. But there is already a fairly simple, and inexpensive.
LoveRPi Heatsink Set, the perfect radiator
In fact, do not worry too much, a company company LoveRPi has already introduced a radiator sold for the modest sum of $ 5, which is fixed on the Raspberry Pi 3 - like the Raspberry Pi 2. Just placing the tiny sinks aluminum on top of the CPU and the LAN chip using thermal adhesive provided. And, they will then dissipate the heat generated by your small computer without fans.
The company says the LoveRPi Heatsink Set can reduce temperatures over 20 ° Celsius. Place them on top of Raspberry Pi 3 and you can say goodbye to overheating.
Why this issue? Although it is unlikely that Raspberry Pi is hot enough to cause damage to the components of the card, in some situations, it may be hot enough to cause stability problems until the system cools.
LoveRPi also notes that the temperature sensor on the chip BCM2837 Broadcom is incorrect when temperatures are high, with a consequence of gaps firmware . So installing a radiator can avoid such problems.
