Kintaro Custom Aluminum Raspberry Pi Cooling Heatsink – Single Board Computer Kit includes Heat Sink, Thermal Compound Paste and Screws - (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+)

I bought the Kuma 9000 SNES case which came with the old Pi 3B heatsink, so I bought this and had to modify two screw in posts for the heatsink to fit inside the Kuma case. Also, I had to buy some M1.5 x 10mm Stainless Steel Phillips Pan Round Head Self Tapping Screws because of the case mode I had to make, but it is now good to go (well worth the effort)

Kintaro Custom Aluminum Raspberry Pi Cooling Heatsink.i have been testing various heatsinks for pi's, as i run "a few" in a 24x7 environment at 100% loading (so temps do matter for me), and it does a REALLY good job at keeping the temps down - due to the simple amount of overall mass the heatsink has (it has the greatest surface area of all i have tested). i have tested many sinks: 11x11x5, 14x14x14 and even 20x20x10 and this trumps them all by atleast 8C if the case u use allows you to mount this thing then i would highly recommend it. it touches/sits on both the cpu and the usb chip so both benefit from the sink in place. cannot comment on the thermal paste, but the fact some is given is a positive. when mounted does not obstruct any of the connectors, so functionality of any of the interfaces whist in using this heatsink is not impaired.so, why only 3 stars? my issue is the mounting mechanism. because i use the mounting holes to connect my pi's together with M2.5 nylon stand-offs i'm unable to use this heatsink. if a variant of this heatsink were to be developed where the mounting holes were not used/obstructed, and thermal tape supplied instead, this would be (for me) a 5 star product.bought purely for testing, i guess i'm gonna have to dremel the mounts off and use some thermal tape (for my use-case)overall: great product, does it's job good without interference of any connectors, needs a little redesign on the mounting used then would be absolutely perfect.

One Stars ⭐️ item works well, but only because I found some screws that would screw into the heatsink, As the screws supplied pass though both the board and the heatsink and screws into Sweat FA!! Meaning nothing is holding down the heatsink to actually make good contact! I cut the Pi 3b+ case housing so the heatsink would fit the case, it keeps temps between 45c-47c this is the temp after 4days of it being on running simple tasks so much better than without and still better than the smaller one due to the increased surface area for heat dissapation. PS don’t use the stupid thermal paste that it comes with, get some thermalgizzle non conductive, than the cheap stuff in the box and some screws so you can actually mount it to the pi board.

Doesn't fit nespie case.

Best heatsink period for getting the most out of your system. Couple this heatsink with a fan and it will never overheat! So long as you leave openings for this thing to breath.

J'ai reçu le dissipateur déjà utilisé, comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos, il y a des rayures sur le dessous et une patte est abîmé . J'ai donc essayé de le monter et la nouvelle surprise . la fixation déjà abîmé c'est casé .Je vous déconseille se produit.

Bisher hatte ich immer einzelne kleine Kühlkörper mit Klebepads im Einsatz.Richtig glücklich wurde ich nicht, aber es war okay.Nun, mit Anschaffung des Raspberry Pi 3 b+ habe ich mir diesen Kühlkörper gekauft.Positiv finde ich, das hier "keine" Klebepads verwendet werden, sondern Wärmeleitpaste.Bisher kann ich keine negativen Punkte feststellen. Der Pi befindet sich in einem eher geschlossenem Raum (Bartop).

Il dissipatore non è compatibile con Raspberry Pi 3 modello B versione 1.2 per alcuni motivi tra i quali:- U2 è in una posizione diversa e i condensatori SMD C98 e C99 impediscono il posizionamento corretto per il fissaggio- Nel RPi 3B+ il Broadcom ha un IHS che dovrebbe fare contatto direttamente con il dissipatore. Il V1.2 non ce l'ha ed è necessaria una piastrina di rame spessa tra 1 e 1,15mm con pasta conduttiva sopra e sottoPossibili soluzioni:- rimuovere la piastrina di contatto con U2 e spostarla o sostituirla con piastrina di rame- usare una piastrina di rame per contatto tra U1 e il dissipatore- usare spessori di gomma e viti più lunghe per il fissaggio al RPiSempre stando attenti a non causare corto circuiti tra i contatti dei componenti.In parte colpa mia che non ho chiesto, né ho misurato le distanze relative tra gli integrati e quelle del dissipatore.Do 5 stelle sulla fiducia che sia 100% compatibile con RPi3B+, inoltre il venditore ha mandato un pacchettino veramente ben fatto e tutto sommato il prodotto mi sembra obiettivamente buono, anche se il prezzo mi sembra un po' troppo elevato, 10 euro per un pezzo di metallo, avrei capito benissimo se fosse stato rame, ma questo mi sembra essere semplice alluminio trattato per renderlo non conduttivo.Provatelo SOLO se avete un Raspberry Pi 3 model B PLUS. NON È COMPATIBILE CON RASPBERRY PI 3 MODEL B V1.2.

Works great!! My Raspberryi 3B+ was running at between 60C to 68C without this heat sink. With the heat sink it runs between 47C to 57C, without any fan.
