This heat sink with fan is ideal for keeping the temperature of your Raspberry Pi 4 low during intensive use, especially for projects requiring high computational power such as home servers, desktop computers, or data processing applications.

What you need

• Raspberry Pi 4
• 3 mm key
• insulated string
• backup fan (optional)
• assembly kit

Steps

1. Completely disconnect the Raspberry Pi 4 from the electrical power.
2. Use the 3 mm key to remove any existing nails or screws.
3. Position the heat sink on the CPU of the Raspberry Pi 4, ensuring uniform contact.
4. Check the datasheet for compatibility of the heat sink with your model of Raspberry Pi.
5. Secure it with the provided nails or screws, ensuring it is not too tight to damage the Raspberry Pi.
6. Connect the fan to the heat sink and the Raspberry Pi 4, ensuring a secure and insulated connection.
7. Configure the fan to regulate the operating speed based on the system temperature.
8. Test the entire system by checking that the fan activates when the temperature rises and deactivates when the temperature drops.
