Adafruit Mini Aluminum Heat Sink for Raspberry Pi - 13 x 13 x 3mm

This ultra-thin, 13x13x3mm heat sink is engineered from high-quality aluminum, ensuring efficient heat dissipation for your Raspberry Pi 3. With its minimalist design, it fits snugly into various setups while providing effective cooling.

Featuring pre-applied thermal adhesive, the installation is effortless. Simply clean the chip's surface, peel the protective film, and align the heat sink.

In performance tests, the Raspberry Pi 3 sustained an increased speed of 1.02 GHz with the heat sink, showcasing a notable 6% boost. Though designed with the Raspberry Pi 3 in mind, it’s adaptable for other processors and chips.

While it enhances performance, a heat sink isn't essential as the Pi 3 can self-regulate to prevent overheating. It is compatible with Adafruit Pi Enclosures, though compatibility with other enclosures and HATs may vary.
