    The Official RaspberryPi Thread

    I watched that video as I also tried a similar heatsink case. Avg temp of 84degrees in that Flir case and throttled when all 4 cores are used on the RPi5. :( This is the one I tried: https://www.robotics.org.za/P5LP1007?search=pi5%20case

    How can you confirm if your Electricity meter is upgraded?
