Reddit reviews LoveRPi Performance Heatsink Set for Raspberry Pi 3 B+

We found 16 Reddit comments about LoveRPi Performance Heatsink Set for Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.

EXTREME PERFORMANCE: Straight-fin design with twice the height of other heatsinks for extra heat dissipation performance whether actively or passively cooled. Mandatory for applications in high temperature, sealed, or overclocked applications.LONG LASTING EXACT FIT: CPU and LAN chipset heatsinks are fabricated specifically for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and B. Double-sided 3M thermal transfer tape offers high thermal conductivity and long lasting adhesion in all mounting scenarios.QUICK AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION: Peel and stick in the orientation with the most airflow. Most effective solution for reliable performance and longevity. No more messy thermal paste and compatible with LoveRPi Power over Ethernet HAT for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.NO MORE THROTTLING: Reduce chip hot-spots and increase thermal dissipation surface area by 10x. For Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, cooling amplification for CPU die area is over 100x! Say goodbye to temperature based performance throttling and maintain consistent maximum performance.MUST HAVE FOR RASPBERRY PI 3: At full load, BCM2837 SoC will reach 100°C. That is hot enough to boil water! Together with active cooling an active cooling case like the LoveRPi Active Cooling Media Center PC Case, the heatsink will keep temperatures below 20°C above ambient.

Well the other day Rasberry Pi 3 Model B was $28 w/ free Shipping so:

Raspberry Pi- $28

32GB SD card- $13

2.5A Power Supply- $10

Heatsinks- $5

Case- $8

HDMI Cable- $7

_____

Total- $ 71

I'd say it's an okay deal. I'd rather buy it bundled anyway, just so it all arrives at once.

I just reopened it and took some internal photos hope these help Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4

also here is the amazon parts.

I ordered some from amazon that had 3M thermal tape on them. Some people recommend using something with more tac(thermal glue) but the plain janes work for me. I ordered the stock raspberry pi case. Both of mine are black. Nice and small and I leave both side panels out so there is more air movement.

B+ heatsinks are different size than 2 B and 3 B.
Of course we recommend ours: http://www.amazon.com/LoveRPi-Heatsink-Raspberry-Model-Heatsinks/dp/B018BGRDVS/
We will have an active cooling case on the market in a week or two and heatsinks will be included with it.

u/theWinterDojer · 2 pointsr/RetroPie

Just wanted to give my thoughts on the case:

I like it better than the previous case I had (Smraza), but mainly for its aesthetics. The fan is a little louder than the Smraza, which was completely silent and had more ventilation slots, but both function the same as far as cooling. I can audibly hear the fan moving but it's not distracting once game audio kicks in, apparently it was even louder before it was recalled in February. Also, be careful of which heat sinks you use with this case. The fan gets pretty low to the board and my LoveRPi heat sinks did not fit. I had to instead go with the Mudder's, which again seem to function just as well. I have not overclocked with them yet but playing Gran Turismo 2 on PSX stays below 50 degrees C. Most importantly for me, the case is sexy, I love the wood and etched looked. I definitely recommend cleaning the plastic with some alcohol beforehand because it will arrive a little cloudy but clears up quite nicely. All in all it's a good looking case and will keep it cool, the Smraza may have a little more ventilation for better cooling, but this case is sturdier, feels like it can survive a drop, and looks much better.

Not sure what your issue could be, but this log entry is interesting:

2018-09-06 10:51:40,400 - octoprint.plugins.opitemp - ERROR - OpiTemp: can't determine the temperature, are you sure you're using Armbian?

The thing that REALLY confuses me is that you are having trouble when not connected to the printer. I could imagine some ways that you would have failures during a print that are related to serial communication issues, but nothing obvious should cause these kind of random lockups. I've been using this build since the day it was released and have never had a lockup, so something else must be going on.

That leads me to one of the following possible issues:

Your power supply or cable is not performing adequately. I heard a rumor that suggests an undervoltage warning will soon be added to Octoprint. This would help debug, but we'll have to wait for that (if the rumor is true). Since the release of the pi 3 models this problem has become somewhat more common (at least from my anecdotal experience) due to their power requirements. The only way to verify 100% that your psu and cable are working properly is to use a power meter, unless someone else knows a way to figure this out (anybody?). However, one halfway reasonable test that I've used on USB cables before I got a meter was to use it to rapid charge my phone. If the cable can't rapid charge, no way it can power a pi. When I got my usb power meter I discovered that over half of my usb cables couldn't supply the required current, and none of these cables could rapid charge my phone. It's a bit more difficult to test the PSU.
Your pi is overheating, throttling due to the high temps, then eventually shutting down or locking up. Do you have adequate ventilation and/or heatsinks (there are 2 you should add)? Here is an amazon link to a cheap and suitable heatsink, but there are MANY other places they can be acquired
Even though you've tried multiple SD cards, perhaps none of them are actually compatible. I don't have a lot of guidance here since I've never had this issue (I use samsung evo mem and either leave my pi running or shut it down properly, btw), but I have heard of these issues over and over.
The last thing I would recommend is to downgrade Octoprint to 1.3.8 to see if things get better. Definitely check items 1-3 first. If performance improves or your problems vanish, it will be time to open a ticket on the OctoPrint github issues page here

Good luck! I hope you get things back up and running soon!

Edit: Fixed link markup in one spot, added link markup where I didn't earlier.

This is a heat sink. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BGRDVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ehezDb1MW9NAW

u/rogerb49 · 1 pointr/RetroPie

Thanks, is this https://www.amazon.com/LoveRPi-Performance-Heatsinks-Raspberry-Model/dp/B018BGRDVS/ big? if not do you have a link to what you're talking about?

u/NewMaxx · 1 pointr/u_NewMaxx

That person likely just used a typical Raspberry Pi heatsink kit since it's cheap and easy to find. The larger chip is indeed the controller which is an ARM-based (Cortex-R) microcontroller, although running at a much lower clock than the RPi. It is the piece of hardware that throttles (70-80C range) and benefits most from cooling; generally, cooling the NAND is unnecessary (or even detrimental in some cases), although I think those latter concerns are exaggerated a bit. The smaller chip is the DRAM (DRAM cache) and like NAND it tends not to get too warm (although higher temps can cause instability, although DRAM here is not used like it is in your system or a RPi) but being adjacent to the controller I think he took a "it can't hurt" approach. Usually not worthy of concern. Although of course, the full-drive cooling solutions (incl. motherboard heatsinks) will be touching everything anyway.

u/swsiii · 1 pointr/RetroPie

This is what I have for my heatsinks now, it will fit your board as the chips are the same sizes.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BGRDVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_CcDxCb2ZPQC30

The fan slot fits any 30x30x10mm fan powered by 5V. This one is cheap enough.

u/thesupergeek42 · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

I just got them from here. For $5 I am not complaining.

Real emulators was maybe not the right word. I think heavy emulators would be better. The Pi will do fine with NES and GBA stuff, but more complex things like PSX and N64, or whatever, you will really need it.

u/TheGuy346 · 1 pointr/raspberry_pi

You can get them pretty cheap on Amazon. Just look up raspberry pi heatsink. Mine came with the thermal glue already in place so I just stuck them to the CPU and the LAN.

u/mrmagos · 1 pointr/RetroPie

I have the Old Skool case, can't recommend it enough. My Pi 3 is overclocked, and I added these heatsinks and a small 30mm 5v fan (running on the 3.3v rail so it's quiet) to move some air. Haven't had any overheating issues thus far, but I can give you actual temperature numbers later while running N64 games.

If you don't want a new PC you can try overclocking your pi. I'd recommend buying heatsinks here:https://www.amazon.com/LoveRPi-Performance-Heatsink-Raspberry-Heatsinks/dp/B018BGRDVS and there's a guide for it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTp3mfpCc2A&amp;t=24s. If you do this you should get better performance.
