Nice video. Yeah, the Pi Foundation is taking a lot of "heat" over thier official case being not fit for purpose for the Pi 4.

I have one of the black Pi 3 ones. Even with numerous vent holes drilled into it that Pi 3B runs hot. Other than the PI Zero official case I haven't bought another one. You'd have to really push a Pi Zero to get it to generate any kind of heat. Near as I can tell anyway. Nice looking cases I will give them that. Not very functional cooling wise though. An A+ (not a 3A+) would likely be fine too in its official case.

4 letter pHAT showing cpu temp ,picture taken earlier ,its at 53.7C right now ,goes up a few ,degrees justto connect to the net ..
this is Blaster running on pi3b+ booting from a kingston 120 gig ssd drive
I got 54c with no case and no heatsink on my Pi 4B. 22c ambiant air temp. I had 4 standoffs in the corners for feet. It was raised up in the air a little bit.
56c with the Pibow Coupe case on no heatsink. Just sitting idle with the desktop open.
51c with the heatsink on.
Will try the fan shim when I get one.
I switched to the "Trees" background. Right click desktop properties. I also like the taskbar on the bottom.
