      @BKeyport - there are some reviews out there stating, that raspi 5 power supply isn’t capable to power this config sufficiently and that the temperature is about 70°C and fan is loud …
      As you‘re recommending this I assume that his isn‘t the case in your installation (mentioned reviews are for the NVME housings…).
      Is this assumption correct?

      Thanks,
      Ralf

            @sdetweil , @BKeyport :
            In the meantime a GeeekPi Ultra Thin ICE Tower Cooler is arrived and just installed.
            Fan is bigger than Pi - looks weird.

            After 20 minutes temperature is at 52°C nothing to hear.
            Keep you posted…

            Thanks for your feedback so far!

                @sdetweil :-) indeed ….
                (Fits millimeter-exactly behind the mirror no more space left…)

                But seems to work.

                  @rkorell I haven’t had any issues - it spreads the heat out much more than many of the setups, but it does work in keeping the system running without much noise. This is on a RasPi 5 that runs two mirrors - one with pages flipping all the time, the other showing camera feeds. Very process intensive. I got it initially because the pi was going to be visible - if I was going to use it in the config I have now, I’d likely go with something with a large heat sink and a quiet (Noctura?) fan.

                  The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                    @BKeyport OK, thanks for your viewpoint!
                    Than I‘m on the right way - still works today :-)
                    Temperature was 45°C today in the morning - was at 56° everytime before …
                    So even passive cooling seems to be much better.

                    Nice rest of weekeend to all of you.
                    Ralf
