“Does it's job, does it well. For £2 from a proper shop it's worth it, especially if you like the nice colour options and need a low profile.
However, it only covers the CPU, not the memory or bridges. In fact it sits above the memory module without touching it, creating a hotspot. RAM heat shouldn't be an issue for most though.
If you want a RAM heatink as well as this, position the sink 90 deg from what the picture shows and buy a roughly 14x10mm (ish) sink for the RAM. The cooler being offset is fine. Don't push hard at a funny angle tho as it'll now be touching smaller componants. A thicker pad will negate this.
Side note; this is small enough for me to fit a 5v fan above the sink, attached to the top of my KKSB case with wire ties (there's definatly prettier ways... hack culture and all that tho..)”
“This heatsink was pretty much what I expected and seems to be doing its job well. I did have to check the pictures on the website before attaching it to the Pi, though, because the fitting orientation wasn't clear.”
“I've bought a Pi2, two each of Pi3 and Pi4, three PiZeros, several cameras and several power supplies.
And you want me to tell you what I think about a heat sink???”
