Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Performance with LoveRPi Heatsink Set by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little heatsinks to cool down your gaming

I ordered these heatsinks for my Raspberry Pi 3. They easily stick to the SOC chips they are supposed to cool. And I tested them playing on my Pi 3. Before I got the temperature warning when loading certain games in RetroPie, I checked out the heatsinks. I run the Pi in the Pi Foundation's standard plastic Pi case, which costs $8, so it doesn't have fans. These radiators have not given me any problems. After 30 minutes of continuous playing nasty games that caused the Pi to overheat, it will no longer overheat with these heatsinks installed. They cost me $4 as I was able to get them from Revain in just 2 days. You could possibly get them cheaper, but you probably have to wait about 90 days for them to ship from China and then you're really only saving $1 or $2 max, so that was easy for me. I'm glad I was able to get a product that was easy to install and solved my temperature issues. When I wasn't gaming or using the Pi for something heavy like some easy to play games there was never an issue but there were a few that caused overheating issues. Overall this is a great product if you need heatsinks for your Raspberry Pi device in a pinch.

Pros
  • SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE: Straight-fin design doubles the height of other heatsinks for additional heat dissipation with active and passive cooling. Mandatory for high temperature, sealed or overclocked applications.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
