and wow, i was using the wrong version, thank you guys for all your help, sorry for being a pain!
Following want to get pi 4 up and running on my mk3s
Well, mine was picked up by the outbound carrier from the UK about an hour ago.
I also bought one of these as well and will be doing some heat-related comparisons before/after.
For people in Saudi Arabia
Or currently in Germany....
I have fan-envy.
As someone else said to me: "You can get fans with LEDs at that size "
Has anyone tried just adding a simple fan to the pi4 yet to see how much of a difference that makes? I have active cooling added to my pi3 case with just a simple fan connected to the GPIO header to power it on. If it does improve the heat situation I would be interested in adding a safe power down option with integrated fan, like this.
Yeah I did.
It's a little bit warmer on these hot days but it never throttles.
A copper ram cooler is still one that sits real high from the board isn't it? I meant super simple fan mounted just above pulling air away from cpu, etc. Thanks for the feedback though.
I still can't find the Pi4 in stock. Even this cooling fan is out of stock
Sorry if this is a NOOBIE question but im new and learning. Are people using the Pie 4 using a separate case or are using it with the pinouts directly on the board directly into the main board?
It's not really big. It's one of those:
I didn't test it without any coolet
You would use it standalone either with a case or just "naked".
It's connection to the printer via a serial connection, most of the time via usb.
