“Whilst the new Pi is an improvement to the previous version my room has become considerably hotter! The official pi case is clearly inadequate for the Pi as it provides no cooling support. Whilst we await for new cases that are more suitable to house the Pi 4 it seems the most effective solution is to have no case on the Pi at all!”
“The raspberry PI gets very hot after a few minutes of light
processor activity. It does not support many other software packages such riscos.
New case is require and another power supply as older
raspberry pi's accessories will not work.”
“I have most of the previous pi range, pi1 pi2 pi3 pi zero, this IS AMAZING, I bought the 2gb ram version, and will be back for the 4gb ram version, might get a heatsink on the processor as well.”
“As a long-time user of Pi model 2 and 3s, the 4B offers a vast improvement in performance. I can now run computationally intensive desktop planetarium software such as Stellarium. I've used the 4B in an open-sided case with fan-assisted cooling and, post new firmware, passively cooled without issue. Looking forward to running it as a desktop machine once an Ubuntu MATE build for the RPi4B is available.”
