“...I've no idea what I'm going to use it for yet, but am enjoying tinkering. Have run some intense benchmarks on the Pi and whilst the CPU gets hot, it's not affected the performance of the little beastie.”
“3 times faster in CPU than the previous and almost 20 times than the pi zero :o
The new Gigabit ethernet is very fast.
CPU is 50-60 celsius when iddle.”
“Hi - I recommend the new Flirc case when buying the Pi 4. (I thought I would post this to help buyers.)
When I first got the latest Pi I also bought the official Pi case. However, when I switched on my new Pi for the first time the first thing I noticed was a temperature warning icon flashing on and off when it was booting! My room was also getting noticeably hot when the Pi was switched on.
However, I have just received the latest Flirc case and the “over temperature warning (80-85C)” icon has yet to appear! So the Flirc appears to be a very effective solution to the Pi operating at a very hot temperature.”
“I have always liked RPi and the Pi4 is a great booster. It does get hot and throttles the speed. It should be sold with heat sinks and their standard cases should have a fan or at least a place for one.”
