      would any heatsink do on a rpi? I saw one guy who brought the extreme and planted one that was bigger than the Pi itself, lol. He got it down to about 20 Celsius.

      I don’t see why not. If it cools the Pi and it doesn’t harm it in any way then it’s good, I guess. Do you have a picture of that extreme heatsink you mentioned? I’m curious to see it.

            @wered doing the manual install and i’m getting this error after running tempcontrol config, after connecting to the repo: “tempcontrol.conf.sample: Permission denied. Cannot write to tempcontrol.conf.sample (Permission denied)”

            Any advice? Thanks in advance

            edit: fixed it by granting rwx access to the files. Having an issue with the display not turning off during the right hours though. My tempcontrol.conf looks like:

            onhour= “08 09”
            parttime= “true”
            partial1 = “”
            partial2 = “”
            partial01 = “”
            partial02 = “”

                Do you actually hear the fan? I’m afraid it is disturbing even though it might only be whispering
