Cooling Raspi

@requiemmg why too noisy? I never hear the fans on both my pi 3, pi4 and jetson nano on the other side of the room (6 ft away)

AS I have no case, I have no way to fix the fan without touching anything and then it is scratching on the surface or is vibrating. Tried it a lot, always too loud. No idea on how to get it fixed.

@requiemmg buy a case… cheap

@requiemmg
Try this if it helps to hold the fan !

I have several cases here, that’s not a problem. There is not enough space between frame and wall.

@requiemmg can you share photograph of the frame ? It would be easy to visualize. ! may be i could be of any help…

@requiemmg Actually there is a hack! You can increase the space between wall & frame by placing 4 no screws in the back side of frame that would give you some extra margin to place your fan on Rpi. You can also adjust the screw height accordingly! Hope it helps !

Thanks. Have a case now with passive cooling that fits, Temp around 48°C.
Unfortunately, it still freezes and I dont know why, will open a new thread for this.

@requiemmg when it freezes at 48C then it’s no cooling issue. Try another SD card, maybe that’s the cause.
