Simply peel off the protective film and press firmly onto the processor — no additional thermal paste or clips required.\n\nIn testing, a Raspberry Pi 3 without a heatsink throttled to 0.96 GHz under full CPU load, while the same Pi with this heatsink maintained 1.1 GHz — approximately 14% higher sustained performance.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nPre-Applied Thermal Adhesive – Peel-and-stick installation, no tools needed\n\nAluminium Construction – Lightweight with excellent thermal conductivity\n\nUniversal Fit – Works with any processor or chip that fits the 14×14mm footprint\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nDimensions – 14 × 14 × 8mm\n\nMaterial – Aluminium\n\nAttachment – Pre-applied thermal adhesive\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRaspberry Pi 3 (and other Raspberry Pi models)\nSmall processor and IC cooling\nAny chip requiring passive heat dissipation\n\n\n\nNote: The Raspberry Pi 3 does not strictly require a heatsink — it automatically adjusts clock speed to avoid overheating. This heatsink allows it to maintain higher sustained performance. Most HATs will not fit on top with the heatsink installed.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11667,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3083","price":2.92,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":104,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
