If you’ve used the new Raspberry Pi 4, or read much about it, then you’ll know that it can run pretty hot under high CPU load. Let’s take a very quick look at it’s thermal performance, and how a couple of different cooling options perform, in particular our new Fan SHIM.
With each generation, the Raspberry Pi packs greater performance into a same-sized package, and the Raspberry Pi 4 is one of the most significant steps up so far. The Raspberry Pi 3 was known to run hot, but the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ dramatically improved thermal performance with a metal heat-spreader on the System-on-Chip (SoC), and much better thermal dissipation through the PCB. The Pi 4’s higher performance means that some of that heat creeps back.
