“A neat device, easy to affix to the Pi5 (no tools required, pre-padded with heat-pads) If you have a Pi5, DEFFO get one of these. Its surprising how hot it gets. And the fan comes on from time to time when driven hard, but it is quiet. Nice.”
“Great product. Fitted really easily.
I used the following to test the fan was working, because it is silent. I mean, really very quiet!
Execute the following script in one window:
#!/bin/bash
vcgencmd measure_temp
cat /sys/devices/platform/cooling_fan/hwmon/*/fan1_input
In a second, use stess-ng to exercise the CPU
stress-ng --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M --fork 4 --timeout 100s
I observed:
fan
temp=45.5'C
2534
and later
temp=42.8'C
0”
