I used this CPU stress temperature monitoring script.I'll go through each of the Pi cooling setups in detail through the rest of this post. (Click on the name of any option to go to the detailed results for that cooling method.)Īnd here's a graph of the actual temperatures for each cooling method through a 20 minute run of the stress test (5 minutes idle, 10 minutes under stress, then 5 minutes idle): Well, here goes-in table form, here are the maximum and minimum temperatures for each cooling method: Cooling Option Each approach has its benefits and drawbacks, which I'll highlight along with the raw temperature data from stress tests.
So today I'm going to remedy that by writing the most complete guide I know of for options for cooling your Raspberry Pi. I've written about how the Raspberry Pi 4 needs a fan, and more recently how it might not.īut I realized, I've done a lot of testing for my own needs, but never compiled them into one concise post. The 3 model B+ was the first generation that had me concerned more about cooling (the CPU gets hot!), and the Pi 4's slightly increased performance made that problem even more apparent, as most of my heavier projects resulted in CPU throttling. I've used every model through the years, and am currently using a mix of A+, 2 model B, and 4 model B Pis. From home temperature monitoring to a Kubernetes cluster hosting a live Drupal website, I have a lot of experience running Raspberry Pis.
