Frequently asked questions

Can I use the heat sink with other Raspberry PI models?
Check the datasheet to see if the heat sink is compatible with your Raspberry PI model.

How long does the thermal adhesive last?
The thermal adhesive can last for years, but it may eventually need to be replaced.

Can I use the heat sink even if the Raspberry PI does not generate heat?
If the Raspberry PI does not generate heat, the heat sink is not necessary.

Can I use the heat sink with Arduino?
The heat sink is designed for the Raspberry PI, not for Arduino.
