A heatsink is commonly added to electronic system for passive cooling; to help dissipate heat to the surrounding. Because of this effect, it will bring down the temperature and help extend the life of your hardware.
The kit consists of two aluminium heatsinks with adhesive backing that you can apply directly to the two major heat sources - the SoC and the USB/Ethernet chip.
Update: We add in a copper sheet that you can stick to the memory chip at the back of the board
While there are still a lot of debates out there whether heatsinks are necessary for the Raspberry Pi, we think that at least they make your Pi looks nicer.
This product is specifically put together for Raspberry Pi 3 and older models.
Features:
2 pieces black aluminium heatsinks (1 piece of 14mm x 14mm x 7mm, 1 piece of 8.8mm x 8.8mm x 5mm)
1 piece of copper sheet 15mm x 15mm x 1mm
Self-adhesive layer to improve heatsink's performance and ease-of-installation
