          @wered I can’t install rpi-temp or tempcontrol, says it can’t locate the packages. Would you mind checking if there’s something wrong on your end?

            Mine gets very hot. I think it’s because of my old monitor. I actually had the heat affect my HDMI cable and had to replace it as my monitor kept cutting out.

                @wered running a multibootpi setup with retropie, raspbian and libreElec. Trying to install this on Raspbian, and i couldn’t get it done with either install method, apt-repo or manual. I’m pretty new so it may be an error on my part

                  Apt method will only work on ubuntu currently, the manual install should work if done correctly though, is it giving you an error when you try to run it?

                    I forget what the exact error was, I’ll check it out when I get home. Does this setup require a GPIO connection? My fan right now just has 5V power and ground wires

                      It requires no gpio, its just a simple bash script that turns on an off the display based on time and temperatures

                        Has anybody here tried attaching a copper heatsink to their pi? I saw a few fellas on youtube doing this but I’m quite unsure if that’s an option I’ll go for.
