@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 what heatsink beast is that? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

😂 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

@lavolp3 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 I’m afraid a heatsink won’t help much but am curious about your results. I haven’t had good results with heatsinks in the past.

Only because you haven’t seen my thermal solution lol, this is one seriously hot chip, had it upto 82 for one reading on the stress test but still at 1.5Ghz on the CPU after that reading it dropped to 80degress this is with just the heat sink no fan. 82degress was during my second stress test and that was just one reading the gap between tests was about 30seconds during both tests no CPU throttling happened. I have put a cable tie around the board and heatsink to keep the pressure on it so it transfers good heat. Not the prettiest but behind a tv well it’s not out of place at all. PS the stress test is 100% cpu usage and no let up during the test had task manager up and CPU usage never fell below 💯

PS works fine on HDMI cable no issues at all

Can I just upgrade the Pi 3 to the Buster OS so i can just swap the ssd over. Can someone confirm if it’s a plug and play boot from OS on an SSD? Rather than through the bios bit to enable it. Really looking forward to this PI I might get a heat sink but I want a big one not the little ones, need to see if I still have the one from the sky box, got a fan already for it but only activates when the TV is on

No you can’t!
But I guess you know that by now.

Buster on the Pi3B+ and Buster on the Pi 4 need different kernel drivers.
So just switching the card won’t work.
A clean install is the best way at least on the Pi 4.
After all you can try to just move the MM directory to the Pi 4, but honestly I would install the modules and dependencies again as well.

Yeah learnt this the hard way 😂, but right now I can’t even use my pi 4 I need boot from usb as that’s how I’m running my 3B+ Also need my heat sinks to come in so I can see what one to use

Well what a bust upgraded it and it won’t display at all, so clean install 👎🏾 Everything running on the Pi 3B+ at the mo, guess no boot from USB for the pi 4 then 😭

@Cr4z33 crap that’s all I have PS there is a new update of buster out now see if that is any better, I’m just upgrading my pi 3B+ From stretch to buster does any one know if it boots from SSD as standard? Oh well guess I’ll find out soon😬

@SH20192 just out of curiosity were you running MagicMirror?

And if so were you running MMM-Spotify?
I ask because last update of this module is giving me a black screen.

My Rpi 4 arrived a couple of hours ago, but I still have to take it out of the box.

Yes to MagicMirror. Only thing running on it. I was not running Spotify.

is it over heating? ETA prime has his overclocked to 1.7Ghz CPU and 600Mhz on the GPU 😳 it must be on fire 🔥 😂

@SH20192 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

Unfortunately didn’t make it 24 hours of being up. :(

Nooooooooooo with that spec I wouldn’t have thought there would be any problems 🤦🏾‍♂️😢

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@SH20192 I see.

I will start with an old Intel heatsink.

I got very good cooling results with a Rock Pi 4 B so I don’t think it will be any worse hehe.

Would that even fit on the Pi?

@lavolp3 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@SH20192 MM system works without changes on Raspbian Buster with the new kernel?
I’m positively surprised…
Gotta order a second one. Lol!
