![]() ![]() ![]() I’m very happy to have found a good use case for my 3B, so much so that I really want to get a Raspberry Pi 4, now. I’m not sure if any of that matters, but I thought I’d include it. It’s connected to my 4K UHD TV via HDMI and booting in CLI mode, and connected to my network via WiFi, since the Ethernet port got taken out by a power surge at my office a couple of years ago. My 3B has a Sandisk 16GB microSD card, a Logitech Unified USB keyboard/mouse receiver, and is running off the 1.8A microUSB power adapter that originally came with my first generation Amazon Kindle Fire. Is this temperature range typical? Should I worry, since it’s a light-duty server appliance only running PI-Hole and consistently below the throttling limit? I have no aircon in my house, but I don’t think that will be much of an issue. I’m confused, as the articles I read online when researching cases led me to expect that attaching a heatsink to the SoC would result in dramatically lower temps. It is running in the 52-55☌ range, even with the plastic top shield removed, which is exactly where it was with the 3B lying bare on a shelf. However, despite having installed the 3B in the case in the correct manner with the correct supplied thermal pad, there seems to be little to no effect on the SoC temperature reported by Pi-Hole. I’m thrilled with how it works, so I decided to finally order a case for the 3B, and settled on the Flirc case. Having recently discovered Pi-Hole, I dusted off my old 3B which was laying unused, and installed it. ![]()
