“When I looked into buyin the raspberry pi I read that the heat sinks wernt vital but its still worth buying with the over clocking facility in the distros so you can run the pi to the max and further.”
“I have bought a number of HotPi expansion boards for the Raspberry Pi. This adds useful extra functionality eg temperature-controlled fan, battery-backed clock, IR controller and LED function eg to report over-temperature events, software-upgrades available etc. I have also bought heat-sinks for the CPU to help support over-clocking. Purchases have arrived promptly and in good condition. When I have contacted PiHut they have been professional. I will be happy to buy through them in the future.”
