😂 it’s from a HP comp pro 6300 fits the LGA1155 socket, had to grind a bit by the hdmi port to fit the cable but no issues at the back by the pins I put duct tape so it doesn’t get into any trouble back there. Those cheap ally cast heatsinks would have died long time heat pipes in cooling makes a lot of difference

@dazza120 lol I see.
I wanted to preorder a Flirc Rpi4 metal case, but shipping is costing TWICE the value of the case…

Flirc case is the same it’s too hard to cool once heated no fins no way for it to shift it once upto temp you get the run away temp where it just keeps rising. My solution has no such issues even though it was like out of one of Linus Tech Tips handbooks lol. I would like to see any other heatsink or case do 20min stress test 😂 and my temp in the house is 26.5c so that’s dam good going

@dazza120 and how did you fix the heatsink to the board?

Thermal tape and a cable tie around the board and heat sink as long as the pi isn’t viewable then it doesn’t really matter it is a lot taller with the heat sink though. But at least if you really wanted to you could run this passively, I will have a little fan as well but that works when the tv is on so running the mirror in the background would be all of this heat sink no fan

@dazza120 oh alright that’s the same solution I used with another board. 👍🏼

PS you will have to grid down the heat sink by the hdmi cable and the wings to allow it to fully seat the heat sink

@Cr4z33 new heat sink now an it sits flush with one thermal pad temp is 78 after two tests back to back better contact with CPU and less thermal transfer material.

@dazza120 I assume we dont need all that cooling power just to run the mirror? :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
